Bediako made a huge mistake going pro and he and Alabama are both worse off for it.


That's not really true. He signed a 2 way deal, so he's probably making at least $200k, probably more. And with international player NIL being fricked up (Canada is technically international), hev probably decided it wasn't worth it. Plus he's with the Spurs, who are very good at developing young talent.

We are definitely worse off without him. But it's not like a Kennedy Winston situation. I hate it, and it screwed our team's potential tremendously. But Bediako hasn't ruined it derailed his potential career by leaving by early.

I agree.
Bediako's only problem this season was injuries.

He's probably making zero right now, unless there was an injury settlement:

After going undrafted in the 2023 NBA draft, Bediako joined the San Antonio Spurs for the 2023 NBA Summer League[8] and on October 2, 2023, he signed with them.[9] On October 23, his deal was converted into a two-way contract.[10] On December 29, he was waived by the Spurs after suffering a torn meniscus.[11] He didn't play for San Antonio, but made 11 appearances with the Austin Spurs, averaging 7.7 points and 6.9 rebounds in 19.0 minutes.[11]

And probably not getting the rehab care that he'd be getting at Alabama had he stayed and tore his meniscus.

The spurs waived Bediako? Did anyone know that? LINK

That seems really weird after such a short period of time, his stats aren't that bad.

Bediako's G League stats:

why has he only played 11 games? (eta Tore his meniscus in December, not a terrible injury at least).

minutes: 19
pts: 7.7
fg% - 58.2%
Ft% - 44%
reb - 6.9
TO - 1.4
blocks - .6
