A HS MBB player Tyler went to Europe instead of a one and done to college
Sadly he fell apart never made the NBA
So this is nothing new

Add the Ball brothers

You're thinking of Jeremy Tyler, who went to Israel and flamed out.

Emmanuel Mudiay and Terrance Ferguson are 2 more prominent examples of guys who made the NBA after one-and-done-ing abroad. Darius Bazley was a stud recruit last cycle who opted to do an internship with New Balance and train for this upcoming draft (oh, and signed a million-dollar shoe deal). I'm honestly a little surprised it's not more common for some of the top top top guys, although maybe the sentiment is picking up more steam.
