    Malik Newman

    He really not coming back? Is this guy stupid or something? Someone explain it to me please. Is he spoiled and doesn't accept hard facts of life? Is his daddy sheltering him from reality? Wtf is going on here. Why is an obvious upcoming undrafted player choosing to go undrafted? Been hanging with Bear Wilson.

    Where are you getting he is defiinitly not coming back? He hasn't even gone to the NBA workouts yet. I don't think we will know anything definitively until after that one way or another.

    Please explain the purpose of this thread to me. There is nothing new on Newman, he will go through the process and make a decision.

    And if you click on the 2017 mock draft on that little link you shared, you'll see they project him to be drafted next year. Meaning even the link you provided for this post believes he'll return to school.

    I don't think he is coming back. Whether its the right decision or not is up for debate but I think he won't be coming back.

    Personally, I think he comes back unless a team promises to draft him in the first round which is very possible considering he is fully healthy.

    To spark discussion on a player before he ****s his NBA career up. Not just let him do it like Bear Wilson.

    I'm of this same opinion as well.

    Your opinion of course but if that were the case the prudent thing would be to hire an agent and Malik and Horstio are pretty knowledgeable about the process. I honestly believe Newman will be back if he doesn't like where his position is now.

    I can promise this thread will have no effect in Newmans thought process... So all you are doing is ripping a CURRENT PLAYER.

    Noone needs to explain anything to you.. No decisions have been made. Let him go through the workouts and make a decision as HE SHOULD DO.

    Heard the same- he isn't coming back.

    They have their minds made up that he is going to shine at the workouts. And then when he doesn't- he will just go to the D-League and try to make it from there. After years of being told he was "one and done"- they can't accept that not being the case

    Agreed. And in the long run it's good for our program as well. If he couldn't make it one & done it reflects badly on Howland's coaching. His dad wants him to be one & done. He wants to be one & done. I know he said he'll come back if he doesn't fall within first round but I don't think he's coming back. He likely will shine at the workouts.

    The team and other players that could sign with MSU are being held hostage by his process right now. You don't care about their feelings?

    Then I'm concerned... You're usually plugged in on basketball

    The only way it looks bad is if he goes undrafted this year. Coming back for year two doesn't look bad. Players that thought they were one and done at Kentucky came back for year two then go on to get drafted. I do think though that he will get the promise from some NBA team to be drafted in the first round because he is finally healthy so the point is moot.

    What makes you thing this? He only had one really good game for us this year. He didn't shine in the HS All-Star games last year either..

    If true, that is freaking ridiculous. Seriously, how many players voluntarily go to the D-League when they are fully eligible to play D1 basketball? Can't be many. Now even if he wants to go as a second rounder, that I would disagree with but would understand. Going to the D-League I would not.

    You've been trying to kick him off the team for months now, so I don't know why anyone would be surprised by this thread

    Actually it's the exact opposite. Thanks for trying to read my mind again but as usual you're wrong.

    I have my own feelings on whether he should go or not. I'll keep them to myself. What I will say is that he will get drafted. It may not be 1st rd but he will get drafted. After that it's up to him to make the most of his situation.

    He gone, Newman will not be returning to MSU. Just was not good fit.

    If he gets drafted, he'll go pro. If not, he'll transfer. We'll know soon enough
