you thought wrong. he told the media upfront that he is not a development league player and he dont want to play in the nbdl.
At least he got his guaranteed money. Ebi was a 1st round pick, unlike so many of the chumps who declare out of high school.
Actually he's right. Minn asked for the league to allow them to send him to the NBDL (though it would have to be an exception). They did this without first mentioning it to Ebi. When he found out, that's when he said that he wasn't an NBDL player etc ...
