Jeremy Tyler wants to go where no other high school basketball player has gone before: He will skip his senior year of high school to play in Europe.
Last year, prep player of the year Brandon Jennings, decided to forgo college to play pro basketball in Italy. Jennings, who is averaging 5.1 points per game in the Euroleague, was the first player to bypass college to play pro in Europe. It was "one-and-done" all along for Jennings. It didn't matter if he was in college or in Europe.
Under NBA rules, the minimum age requirement to enter the draft is 19, and for U.S. players, at least one year removed from high school AND 19 years of age (by the end of that calendar year).
Jeremy TylerMany wondered if Jennings' move would spark other high school stars to follow in his footsteps. Now, not only that, Tyler will create some footsteps of his own.
According to Yahoo Sports and The New York Times, Tyler will get his high school diploma online. Tyler said his game stagnated by playing high school basketball. He was often triple- and double-teamed.
Is this a good move for Tyler?
The 6'10 junior to be is considered to be the top player in his class of 2010. He has the athleticism to be something extremely great at his position, and the work ethic to go along with it. Tyler is never afraid to go at the opposing teams best player, rather it be a center, forward, or even a guard at times. Check out Tyler at the All West Camp presented by Fullctpress.net
