With the NBA draft just days away, Eric Mika appears to be on the fence of whether he will be drafted or not. Mika has worked out for multiple NBA teams over the past month, and is hoping his name will be called come Thursday night.
The consensus among most scouts is that Mika made the right decision coming out, do in large part to his age. As a 22-year old sophomore, Mika’s draft stock wasn’t likely to increase with another year at BYU. Having extra time to develop under NBA tutelage, either on an NBA roster or in the NBA’s developmental league, was enticing enough for Mika to best improve his skills and maximize his likelihood at succeeding at the professional level.
