Jeremy Tyler is a rebel, a revolutionary.

You’ll hear that name a bunch in the next couple of weeks.

He’s a 17-year-old kid who was a projected NBA lottery pick in 2011.

And if the NBA hadn’t made a rule to disallow high-school players from being drafted, he would be a top-five pick next year.

He’s skipping his senior year of high school to play basketball in Europe.

Sounds stupid, right?

I had to wear Velcro sneakers on the basketball court because I couldn’t tie my shoes at 17.

But hold on with your sound off.

As all the talking heads attack the situation from all angles, apparently his dad — a somewhat successful businessman — has a plan.

Tyler will get a big contract in Europe, which could include endorsement deals, his father and uncle will take turns in Europe watching over him, and the protegee will spend as long as he feels it takes to develop for the NBA.

Plus, he’ll get his GED in a home-away-from-home school program.

And he may even earn a BA while he trains for the “Association.”
