Digger Phelps comments on point guard's landmark decision

Brandon Jennings, a 6-foot-1 guard considered the nation's top-rated high school basketball by multiple recruiting services, announced on Tuesday night that he will forgo playing in college and begin his professional career in Europe, ESPN.com reported.

Jennings, who signed with Arizona, is the first high school player to circumnavigate the NBA's rule that you have to be 19 or play one year of college to be eligible for the NBA draft. The Compton, Calif., native played the last two seasons at Oak Hill Academy in Virginia and is expected to enter the 2009 NBA draft after a one-year stint in Europe.

ESPN college basketball analyst Digger Phelps, one of the 80 celebrities in this year's American Century Championship field, was shocked that a 6-foot-1 guard is the first to make such a landmark decision.

"If you would've told me he's 6-8, then, yeah, I could understand why he's going to Europe," Phelps said at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course. "But a 6-1 guard? He must be a great guard because they're all guards over there, and they all shoot 3s. It's an interesting case."

Jennings hadn't been qualified academically by the NCAA Clearinghouse and was expected to find out this week if his most recent S.A.T. score was high enough to grant him eligibility. He failed to score high enough on his first attempt, but the result of his second attempt had improved so much that the NCAA red-flagged the score and required him to retake the exam a third time.

The result of his third test, though, doesn't matter anymore as he's expected to sign a shoe deal and a contract with an undisclosed European team. Phelps, who admitted he doesn't follow high school basketball that closely, said Jennings might have spelled trouble for coach Lute Olson and the Arizona Wildcats.

"When the kid shows up on ESPN, in a game in November, then show me how good you are," Phelps said. "He's going to Europe for one reason, and that's to make money. Somebody must be paying him $400,000 or $500,000. This means he has an agent, which means he's signed with an agent, which means coming out of high school he has an issue already."

Phelps, who coached at Notre Dame for two decades and led the Irish to the 1978 NCAA Final Four, said college basketball isn't hurt by the "one and dones." The term refers to talented freshman who likely would've declared for the draft out of high school but needed to play at least one year because of the NBA's age requirement.

In the past two drafts, Ohio State's Greg Oden, Texas' Kevin Durant, Kansas State's Michael Beasley, Memphis' Derrick Rose, USC's O.J. Mayo and UCLA's Kevin Durant were "one and dones" picked in the top five.

"That's what we are today, one and done," Phelps said. "The problem is they drop out when they are done (with basketball). It doesn't hurt college basketball. Did you see the ratings for the Final Four? They were off the charts."

"But I say let the kids that get drafted play summer ball with the NBA teams that pick them. By Aug. 1, if they don't make it, let them go back to college for another year. That would force these kids to go to class in the spring semester so at least they are eligible to play the following year."

The precedent set by Jennings could lead to more high school players opting in the future to play in Europe for one year instead of going to college. Phelps thinks it's a potentially risky move but an understandable one if Jennings is that good and is confident he'll be drafted the following year by an NBA team.

"Why go to college if you're that good?" Phelps said. "But Europe is full of good players. Those guys are pros, so this kid must be a great guard."
