Jeremy Tyler, a 6-foot-11 prep sensation from San Diego, has outdone Brandon Jennings and is bypassing his senior season — of high school basketball — to play two years in Europe in preparation for the NBA.
“His game will be picked apart [by scouts], but long-term it’s much better for his development as a player,” said one Western Conference general manager, who can’t comment publicly due to NBA rules. “It’s a bold move, but I’ve seen tape and that kid could play in the NBA right now. He’s an incredible talent.”
