Now if you're talking strictly after the season calipari had nothing to do with him being drafted then ok. I disagree, but that's a little more arguable, but calipari absolutely had something to do with Harrelson being drafted in the NBA.

General Discussion of Tax Matters for Overseas Basketball Players | Hess Law Group

Ok, thanks. I noticed the tax issues in the first paragraph of the ESPN article, but nearly every subsequent article referred to "tax-free" money that players were earning. I had always wondered why more players didn't opt to play overseas (under the assumption it was tax-exempt). I guess this answers my question.

I think the NBA scouts agreed with me.....why do you think he wasn't drafted?

The whole discussion is that some (including myself) think that he could have been drafted if he wore a different color jersey in college. Maybe not having Pearl as our coach might change that. Hopson would have been a 1st rounder under Cal.

Harrellson getting drafted was rediculus. He had one ok year. Nothing special. No first team or second team All SEC. Hell even Brian Williams won 6th man during Harrellson's senior year. If Cal can get Harrellson and Orten drafted, then probably could have gotten Williams drafted if he wore a blue uniform.

I agree with what someone else said. He's in tight with WWW, who is in tight with NBA gm's. I fully believe there are definitely some favors being delivered in that circle.
