Emmanuel Mudiay recounts year of playing overseas after bypassing college

Posted Mar 26, 2015
Emmanuel Mudiay, who finished as Scout's No.2 overall prospect in the 2014 class, chose a different path than his high school peers. Instead of playing college basketball, Mudiay, a 6-foot-5 point guard, opted to go the professional route after graduating from Dallas' Prime Prep Academy and play in the Chinese Basketball Association. Mudiay returned to the United States last week and spoke to Scout about his journey, the upcoming draft and the thought of other elite high school players bypassing college and taking a similar route.
