Karaban is not and will never be an NBA player. His production was product of playing with NBA talent. Any athletic forward can shut him down. If you can’t create your own shot there is no use for one in the NBA.
He better get his passport updated if he wants to play professionally

I see Solo Ball in a similar boat. Talk of him "coming out" this year was ... silly. Very good college player, by the way, and I'd love to have him.
Don’t shoot the messenger, but it could be a monster weekend in Queens (and Manhattan) for Pitino that could push SJU to top 5 2025/2026 preseason ranking.
It's ironic that retaining your own players is now considering "making moves." You aren't wrong though.
Gotta give Hurley credit for keeping players, especially those with little to no burn over two years like Ross. He must be a PR pro at convincing him back with all the talent coming in plus Karaban potentially staying. Maybe money helps.
So true. All the downsides of Karaban's game became glaringly apparent. A spot up shooter who needs a facilitator to get him the ball in space. Euro league is in his future.
Definitely think that the money helps. I also think that Hurley is honest with them. He's not promising time and not delivering, he's just promising opportunity.
Ross is an interesting kid. He shows flashes of athleticism, followed by a bonehead play. The same could be said of Stuart, but the ratio of good things the bad things is better.
He'll get a two way contract. Whether he gets called up out of the G league is unclear though.
Terrific kid, though. I think that he was too much in his own head this season. If he can get his mind right, he can still be the player that we all hoped he would be. Still, in a "down year" he was averaging 14 points plus per game.
He's been serving predominantly in a GM role for sometime now. I believe Tom is 60 now so there's been speculation that this is in response to his desire to ease back a bit.
