Mouhammadou Jaiteh said he is not interested in being a draft-and-stash prospect.
“My goal is to join the team next year,” Jaiteh said. “I’ve had three years now playing overseas pro. I really earned some experience, some maturity, and I think if I want to keep improving fast, I think the best is to be around the best players in the world, with the best coaches. That’s why I want to join the team this year and fight for it.” Jaiteh will likely be taken in the second-round of the 2015 NBA draft, but he’s not likely to produce in a meaningful way during his rookie season.
