(Image via collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com)
Emmanuel Mudiay made headlines this week by signing the richest contract ever for a high school graduate to go overseas and play basketball. Despite reports that this decision was made to escape inquiries into his eligibility and amateur status by the NCAA, Mudiay has insisted that this was about taking care of his family. He told SI.com “I was tired of seeing my mom struggle”. With his decision to pursue the overseas route to prepare for the NBA, Mudiay joins a group that includes Brandon Jennings and Jeremy Tyler, both of whom are now in the NBA. Mudiay’s decision is a rare one among elite high school prospects, even in the age of having to be nineteen to be draft eligible. I hope that other elite high school athletes will give this avenue increasing consideration moving forward for reasons relating to the court and off.
On the court, there is the obvious issue of pay. Mudiay is scheduled to be paid $1.2M to play for Guangdong of the China Basketball Association. The athletic potential of young black men is commodified so early these days that coaches are forced to scout middle school games in order to stay on top. With that commodification comes parasitic behavior which often leaves the athlete with little to no say over their future. When it comes to college, the popular narrative is that elite prospects should be grateful for the $200-300k in scholarship that they could get over four years and forget about any other possible money they could make, not to mention the first class education. I used to buy into this argument as an educator, but it crumbles when you recognize that the majority of the time, the athlete has long ago decided that they want to be a professional athlete. A year of unwanted classes on a full scholarship pales in comparison to $1.2M and not having to check-in at the 9am lecture or 6pm study hall. If they have an opportunity to pursue their passion at eighteen and be paid for it, then why should they be stopped? Olympic athletes, tennis and baseball players have been exercising this option for years. Young, talented basketball players should feel no shame in doing the same. By doing so, they have an opportunity to escape the identity shackles that American culture places on their worldview.
Going to China effectively gives Mudiay a one year fellowship in one of the leading civilizations in the world. He has an opportunity to experience a completely different lifestyle. This next year will have an impact on his life long after he’s done dribbling the ball. Perhaps he learns the language, perhaps his notion of “blackness” evolves, maybe he makes business contacts that he can leverage when he does make it to the NBA as expected next year. Yes, being seen numerous times on ESPN during the college season is a big stage, but so is becoming a star in China. The exposure on national TV also means little if your game doesn’t develop and you can’t make it past the initial three-year rookie contract.
While Jennings, now a Detroit Piston, lamented that his time in Italy was not all fun and games, he acknowledged that he did mature. It also sounds like he was humbled by not being treated like a star while playing for Lottomatica Virtus Roma. A scout noted that he increased his capacity to play defense and that his draft stock had not been harmed. At worst, Mudiay will be immersed in a professional culture that will prepare him for the rigors of the NBA and he won’t have to worry about being dissected at every turn the way Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker were this past year. He’ll be doing this while controlling all facets of developing his brand, which is a key component to being a professional athlete today.
While the overall success of Jennings’ and Tyler’s careers can be questioned as neither has yet become an all-star, what cannot be denied is that they were not adversely impacted by their time overseas. Ultimately it enabled them an opportunity to pursue their chosen professions at a high level and prepare them to play on the world’s most elite basketball stage. Both matured on the court, and I would venture to guess they learned a lot about being an adult. I expect the same for Mudiay and hope that as these examples continue to mount, that the prospect of going to foreign land will become a more tantalizing option for the nation’s elite high school basketball players who do not want to submit to the current NCAA policy.
