Klutch client & top 3 recruit Justin Edwards goes undrafted and is now on a two way contract.

[Rigby.]

Glad my team got him, but it is always a shame when these guys get put in non-ideal situations (for him, playing with as elite perimeter talent as UK had + playing for a coach generally bad at in-game coaching) and their next step is to declare. I can sorta get it in this particular draft, but that's if you're a fringe guy. Dude wasn't even on the radar as a first round or high 2nd guy

That's where you're wrong. Bron was GREAT defensively in those bubble playoffs. AD was better defensively, but Bron was great as well. Then you throw in Bron's rebounding and passing advantages its clear he was better. Although AD wasnt far off.

The difference between AD’s defense and Lebrons > difference in passing.

AD has been LAs best player for a minute but the stat padding Lebron often does at the end of games sometimes covers that up

AD got hurt in the finals and tailed off breh. He had the mvp but his body wouldn’t let him win it

Maybe but it seems Lebron will always win it if the stats can somewhat justify it. Look at this year. AD had a great year where he was somewhat elite on both ends (definitely defense) and the narrative is still how Lebron needs more help along with some suggesting that Lebron was still the Lakers best player.

Unprecedented hate. Klutch is the first agency I’ve seen blamed for a kid not getting drafted.

I’m convinced you nikkas would blame LeBron if your car broke down

Black folks mad a black agency is taking over shyt. I be really hoping this board is full of cacs pretending to be black. Same mafukkas would be and respectful as shyt if Klutch was owned by a jew named Jeff Stein.

Precisely. I’ve made my son walk onto every single program he’s played for including college. This way if he really wants it, he’s gotta earn it and nobody can take that away from him and he owes nobody but himself.

The shoe companies are the worst thing to happen to American hoops. They have these kids and their families reclassified multiple times all so they can get the opportunity to go to college for free and the hopes of getting one of the most coveted jobs in the world.

These Kids miss mostly all of their high school years, events like the prom and parties all so they can have a shot to play three years at best in the nba and knock up some troll who will make sure their life is a living hell for years to come. All while the guys who invested in them from 6th grade reap the rewards.

Then we get to sit back and watch them do foolishness and wonder why they spend and behave recklessly not realizing they never had that chance since it was all business from youth. Tearing their bodies apart before 25 becuase they never had a summer to chill. It’s insane that there are more billionaires in the country than there are NBA players and the players work for the billionaires yet people still push their kids to go pro.

Extreme results require extreme measures. You’re not gonna “balanced life” your way into the NBA.

Because he posted a guy from Klutch. There are dozens of players that come out too early every year that he could have posted.

He's a big time Clipper fan, that's why he used the Brandon Boston reference. Even though Boston came out early after one bad season at Kentucky, he still had opprotunites. His jumper regressed big time and he suffered injuries at the worst time.

You worried about the wrong team

Don’t quote me

It's on agents like Rich & the NBA to solve this problem.

Force kids to play at least two years. People have less of an excuse to leave after one year with NIL money.

Force? His people and his agent fuked up here, not the system

How is Klutch getting these guys prepared for Summer League

Breh is going to be Utah's summer league roster.

Rich Paul: $1M intern a result of 'broken system'

NBA agent Rich Paul said client and top prospect Darius Bazley's choice to take a $1 million internship with New Balance was the product of a "broken system," with one missing component -- playing.

www.espn.com

That's disingenous comments from Rich Paul because it was always stated that Bazley dropped out of the G-League because he looked terrible against those G-League players and didn't want it affecting his draft stock.

That internship did nothing for Bazley from a on court perspective as he's now relegated to the G-League where he should have went to develop all along, so I don't see why Bron bragged about it.

I honestly forgot he was on the court during the game

One and done is more about it gives you the opportunity to get 3 or 4 big contracts from the nba vs 3 or 4 years gives you the opportunity to get 1 or 2.

Dejounte Murray was one and done. He got a 120 million contract. He is only 27. If he turns down his player option he is right back in free agency at 30. Plenty of 30 year olds get large contracts in the NBA.

Derrick White played 4 years. He got a 125 million contract...at 31. He didn't get a player option so it just carries him until he is 35. Paul George, Lebron, and KD notwithstanding, most 35 year old's don't get paid very much in the nba, if they are even in the nba at all.

The difference between the one and done guy vs the 4 year guy might legit be 100 million more dollars primarily because one guy can jump back into free agency at 30 and one guy aint even get his payday until he was 31. And these dudes were drafted in back to back years.

if white let people talk him into throwing his name in the pot early like some of these dudes, he doesn't stick around long enough to get past a 2 way. i just think folks forget about that part too often

amari is a great example of a dude that could've stayed in and guaranteed he'd get that first round pick job security in a weaker class but is instead fighting for his life just for a roster spot

Watching the game now. Bazley got just 6 points

Hope breh can carve out a role.
