USC Morning Buzz: Did Julian Jacobs/Nikola Jovanovic Make Mistake Turning Pro?

NIKOLA.BALLIt would be easy to say they did based on last night’s draft results. But it is worth remembering one thing: This was considered a weak draft. Next year is considered a very strong draft. Just think of all the guys who initially turned pro and changed their minds. So there was probably a feeling they wouldn’t get drafted next year either. And for Jovanovic, Europe is always a strong option. So who knows if it was a mistake.

  1. Even after their NBA evalutions, potentially not getting drafted seemed 10x better than playing for “baby gap teeth” Andy… .lol

    • If there’s a lesson to be learned here it would be dealing out three solid beatdowns to UCLA in a single season does not mean you’re ready for the NBA.

  2. Who knows, but sometimes it’s better to use common sense as oppose to listening to agents , because there was nothing glaring about their, talent.

  3. Tony Parker finished his 4th year playing at #UCLA, where did you think he was going at 25yrs old #ClownU?? Hahahaha… .no one wants to play for “baby gap teeth” Andy!

  4. The standard for #ClownU Bball beat #UCLA and even if you can’t crack the league you get to tell your grandbabies we beat them #Bruins… .

    #LMAO #KLove #Winning #UCLNBA

  5. I wouldn’t blame the agents. All of us knew Jacobs was on the bubble and Jovanovic wouldn’t be drafted for sure. These kids aren’t stupid. They just wanted to leave school and they fully knew the risks they were taking. Everybody did. I’m not sure what all the handwringing is about.

    Actually, I don’t think they made a bad move for themselves. Neither seems like much of an NBA player to me, especially Jovanovic who is barely a loss, so whether they go D League or to Europe or whatever, SC had served its function for both. Jacobs was thinking of leaving a year earlier. No way he was staying. Jovanovic was being passed up by younger, better talent even though USC is a mediocre basketball school and kids don’t come here to win titles, at least they shouldn’t. USC fans barely even pay any attention to basketball.

    • Only the first round is guaranteed money. I hope they knew for sure the uphill battle they have. Even staying in the D-League will be a week to week tryout. We’ll be fine. I hope they will also.

  6. Hahaha… .that’s cute (1) 5*

    Just think if only “baby gap teeth” Andy could’ve coached defense on an inbound play in the last 3sec. of the 1st rnd. when it mattered the most… .

    USC Trojans
    Tournament Appearances: 17
    Final Fours: 2
    Championships: 0
    Win-Loss: 11-20

    UCLA Bruins

    Win-Loss: 103-40

    #CatchUp lol… .

  7. A major Exodus failure is what’s happening now at #ClownU.. .”baby gap teeth” Andy is sooo winning, just don’t tell him he has 3sec. left on the clock!

      • Call your square and raise you a cube

        Andyain’twinning Choka, Choka, Choka’s at the NC tournament on a last second, 1 inch layup. No D cubed!

        • Snore! To! The! Infinite! Power!

          Hee-Hee-Hee-Hee-Hee-Hee!!!

          8 clap that!

  8. Why argue with the clown from Ucla.. The basketball team has been a no show since 95.. They want all to recognize their history, but dont allow us to recognize our 11 NCs in football.. Just walk away from the fast food servers and enjoy your day.. We are better than them.. Thats why they sit here 24/7.. They want to be like Mike! aka USC.

    • Hey 55, it’s 8 voted, toilet tissue FB NC. Joka, joka, joka.

      UCLA only hang banners for NC victories in tournament competition.

      Who can forget bozo u FB up 12 points with 10 minutes to go and: Choka, Choka, Choka.

  9. But at the same time Sammy, those players choosing to pursue an unsure pro future instead of Andyain’twinning’s “dead mackerel” Div. 4 BB program, can say they went ONE and DONE in the 2016 NC (the actual goal of 99.9% Div. 1 programs) Tournament.

    Those players might also add that in 17 (what a joke) NC Tournament appearances, bozo u has gone ONE & DONE 9 times.

    #bozou#of bbnc’s:Oforever

  10. bozo u goes ONE & DONE at the NC tournament on a last second I inch layup due to no bozo u/Andyain’twinning defense. Now there’s a surprise.

  11. The 2017 draft is just stronger at the top..not necessarily from a depth standpoint.

    I’m trying to figure out why the fact that staying in school in getting something called a DIPLOMA never crossed your mind… but I’m wasting my time waiting for that…
