Roma is an alright team, any team that plays in the Euroleague is already elite for Europe, but that’s not where Roma’s greatest asset is. Rather it is its GM that Jennings will benefit from the most. Dejan Bodiroga is to Europe what Magic was to the NBA. A legend and he will no doubt help Jennings develop.
But if Jennings does not perform he’s contract runs the risk of being terminated and his career may end before it even starts….

Sure, he can make a little dough playing overseas immediately, but if he should struggle it could affect his draft position a year from now. Playing at Arizona would afford him the opportunity to dominate at that level, provided he was good enough to be a lottery pick, and keep his profile high. Ultimately, I don’t think it’ll hurt the college game that much.
