Retreats to Europe
Musa signed a three-year contract Wednesday with Turkish club Anadolu Efes, EuroLeague.net reports.
ANALYSIS
A first-round pick by the Nets in 2018, Musa appeared in 49 games, averaging 4.3 points and 1.9 rebounds in 10.7 minutes per contest between his two seasons in Brooklyn before he was dealt to Detroit during the offseason. Though the Pistons are seemingly in rebuilding mode, the 21-year-old evidently wasn't viewed as part of the organization's long-term plans, as he was waived at the conclusion of the preseason. With none of the league's other 29 teams opting to scoop up Musa, he'll return to the other side of the Atlantic and attempt to establish himself in the EuroLeague.

2018 Fantasy Outlook
Musa is just 19 years old and has been playing professionally with Cedevita in Europe for three years already. Most recently during the 2017-18 campaign, Musa played 71 games across three different leagues and averaged 12.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steal across 23.1 minutes. He shot a respectable 47.0 percent from the field, but he did noticeably struggle from deep and hit just 31.3 percent of his three-pointers. Still, Musa is prided for his elite scoring ability, which is what earned him a selection with the 29th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft by the Nets. Still a bit thin and in need of better defensive coaching, Musa is expected to need some developmental time after coming over to the United States, so he'll likely struggle to see more than a handful of minutes most nights during the upcoming campaign. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising if the Nets opted to give him some run in the G-League in order to quicken the learning curve. Still, Musa's plethora of offensive moves, as well as impressive size (6-foot-9) and ability to play multiple positions, makes him an intriguing piece for the future. He'll likely only be in consideration for those willing to bet on his potential in dynasty leagues.
