Following the blueprint of Nick Calathes, Clemson Tiger guard Terrence Oglesby is leaving school after his sophomore season to play in either Italy or Spain. The 3 point specialist seems to be excited just to play professionally and focus on just basketball. It is reported that he is likely to earn roughly $500,000 a year, which is nice tax free money.Oglesby is not really an NBA prospect as of now, but he could eventually work his way into the league. If you have seen him play, you know his game: shoot, shoot, shoot. Even if he 10 feet beyond the arc or has a guy in his face, he will chuck it up.
I just wonder if it will get to the point where something like this is commonplace? I guess it makes sense...if you are a borderline NBA talent, you may have a better shot leaving school early, spend more time actually in a basketball setting, and try to make it to the NBA after a few years. With all said, I think there is a better chance we see Nick Calathes in the NBA in 2 years than Oglesby.
