OT: MSU's Tillman Puts His Name in NBA Draft
good for him. good player, good dude. hope he does well. he's not the problem with sparty.
XM, will be in your neck. of the woods for the 4th this year if the world hasn't ended. Let's do that pint finally.

you're on.
and don't worry, the world isn't ending. a tough patch here, but not the end.
Such a shame how there is no March Madness. Time marches on though, time marches on. I’m guessing NFL Draft will be highest rated thing ever.

The draft is potentially going to be weak this year due to a lot of the uncertainty out there with the NBA and the lack of combines and team workouts. Somehow Izzo will convince him it's in his best interest to come back.
March 24th, 2020 at 10:49 PM ^
I think the needs of his 2 children probably blot out what Izzo might tell him
March 24th, 2020 at 10:08 PM ^
Good for him. He just had another baby and I hope he gets paid. I couldn’t imagine being married with two kids at his age.
March 24th, 2020 at 10:47 PM ^
Makes sense, because who knows what will happen in college hoops next year. Good luck to him.

If Tilman stays in the draft, MSU will be in a strange position next year. They’ve always had a PG in waiting and a big man in waiting. Is Watts versatile enough to play PG? Who is their down low threat? Kithier? Players like Bingham are just too slim to play the style Izzo likes out of his 5’s.
MSU will have a lot of athletes next year, but not sure how many basketball players they’ll have. Expect streaky shooting, some great games, and some real rough ones

Don't forget Foster!

Starters would probably be Bingham, Hauser, Hall, Henry and Watts.
Bench would be Kithier, Sissoko and Marble down low.
Not much depth at guard, at all. Loyer and Hoggard. Brown bench wing.
Will definitely seek another guard. Seems #1 target is Karim Mane out of Montreal. Or maybe Langford sticks around and is healthy? Or grad transfer?

Izzo will do the mind trick he always does and make him comeback.
March 24th, 2020 at 11:20 PM ^
Good
March 24th, 2020 at 11:44 PM ^
He really should go. He's a great defensive player and an opportunistic offensive player, and I don't see him demonstrably improving next season under Izzo.

Everyone with two young kids looks 45.
March 25th, 2020 at 12:24 AM ^
he Should go. He will make a lot of money playing basketball. Whether it be the nba or overseas he should be able to secure 6 figures or more a year for his family
He's married with 2 kids. He can probably use the money. Hope he makes it.

Rico Beard aka Rico Sparty on WTKA this morning said Tillman will not have an agent during this process. That means Tillman wants to see where he grades out. So, it is not a done deal he's leaving MSU (if I heard Rico Beard correctly).
I think current mock drafts have him as a late first rounder. If that is the case he should go, but like many have said Izzo will play his mind games on him and have him stick around another year and have his wife Lupe offer free daycare for his kids.
