Okay. Anyways, how do you figure that? I don't know anything about the guy, but he has to be 19 and a year removed from high school (if he were an American) no matter what. Where he plays won't affect that.
If he plays college ball he falls under college eligibility rules. If he doesn't he falls under international player eligibility rules.

All right, but why would him playing this season delay him from entering next draft when it doesn't prevent anyone else from doing so? He's 19, so he's eligible under both sets of rules.
He's 17 until day after tomorrow.
And? If that means he'll turn 19 on July 13, 2014, he's still eligible for the draft whether he goes in school or stays in Australia.
His eligibilty status is widely reported. As I understand it:
"Any player who is not an "international player", as defined in the CBA, must be at least one year removed from the graduation of his high school class."
The CBA defines "international players" for draft purposes as those who meet all of the following criteria:
Have never enrolled in a U.S. college or university.
Since he won't graduate from HS until Nov and then choses to enroll at a US college falling under non-international draft eligibilty rules, he won't be eligible to enter te draft until 2015.
Interesting. Thanks for the info. That's sort of weird, though.
He's projected as the third pick in the strongest draft in years (2014) so he can as well skip college.
Seems like people really haven't seen any of this guy. He looks like a legitimate prospect against other up and coming youngins. I don't think it'd be hard to assume he would have been out of our range in next years draft had he waited. Tony probably talked him into going this year so the spurs could get him. They kept talking about how kids like him with limited scouting, only go in the draft when a team promises them they'll take them if they're still there at their spot.
This is the Nike Hoops Summit He played in this year with the top players for next years draft. Legit?

19 pts today.
LJC was a garbageman against the comparable USA guys at the Hoop Summit. He was blocking shots, rebounding, getting put backs. He was very active. I had no idea if he could shoot the ball well at this point, but I liked what I saw. Did not see what he did today.
Unlike the Mavericks, the Spurs don't blow many 1st round picks. They take guys that stay in the league for a long time generally (with one or two exceptions the last 15 years). FWIW, the Mavies 1st pick has already suffered a broken ankle at Summer League.
It's a shame about Larkin and his injury. However, he wasn't going to play for the Mavs this year anyway. Carlisle hates young players and the Mavs overall are terrible at developing young talent. They prefer free agency and trades over the draft. It's why they've virtually spurned the draft the past 10 years.
Did he play somewhere today?
Here's the link to the game report against the Czech Republic. All of 10 people showed up...

Jean-Charles got injured in the game he played Saturday. He is back in France to evaluate the injury.

This sucks, the games just started to get streamed today. What is it with all these international prospects getting injured this offseason..
From what I've read in various articles, it is a knee injury and they fear it's a big one even if the final diagnostic hasn't been made. He will be examined tomorrow in France where I guess he will have an MRI.
Ouch!
Sucks.
That sucks. But let's hope it's not too bad. Otherwise, perhaps the Spurs should invest in a fleet of Duncan knee braces.
That's pretty unfortunate.
