Source: Emmanuel Mudiay agrees to $1.2 million deal to play in China
Playing overseas for millions instead playing college ball for nothing really seems like a no-brainer. I'm a little surprised this didn't take off after it largely worked out for Brandon Jennings. It didn't work out for Jeremy Tyler so much, although he's still hanging around the NBA.
If Silver manages to change the one-and-done rule into a two-and-done rule, maybe that'll give this the kick it needs to take off?

Mudiay, 19, had been faced with eligibility issues for his freshman season at Southern Methodist University under Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown and made the decision to play in China before becoming eligible for the 2015 NBA draft.
