Keep in mind there are different levels of pro ball around the world with different levels of compensation. 20 years ago a UW basketball player was paid $1 million a season in Greece. Turkish teams can and will pay at that level. The Chinese love the NBA and are ponying up a lot of money these days for the pro teams there.
Chapman's experience in England and Grimm's in Switzerland are at a different level of professional basketball.
If Vander feels like this is the best way to take care of his family my prayers are with him.
Perhaps deep down some of us might feel disappointment because with Vander in the coming season it would be easier for Marquette to capture that brass ring that the school once had in 1977?
Like all of of Buzz's teams the 2013-14 squad will have its own unique personality. It will be another team with players developing and growing up in ways some didn't think possible. We need to enjoy the ride and care about the players beyond wins and loses. They have a life to live outside the time they are on the court and pressures and a sense of family obligations most times we don't have a clue about.
