The NCAA still faces rejections. While European prospects Narcisse Ngoy and Quinn Ellis, who were reportedly presented with very attractive deals, are set to join the American university league next season, German player Hannes Steinbach has reportedly turned down a highly lucrative offer, according to sources from BasketNews.
Averaging 18.5 points and 11.8 rebounds this year at Washington, the forward is said to have received proposals in the vicinity of $10 million, equivalent to a rookie contract in the NBA. However, the Würzburg native is not believed to have pursued these solicitations, with his preference being to test his luck at the upcoming NBA Draft, where he is projected as the 15th pick by ESPN.
