Why would he want to go to the grind of the NBA where he will be used and abused every other night by every thug in the league, which is most of them. He will pursue a meaningful degree at UK, have girls falling all over him, and he knows he will be surrounded by 5-star talent at every position. He's living it up right now and having the time of his life; I think he would be crazy to go to the NBA or any other professional league and I'll bet his mom and dad would tell him the same thing.
    Because you get the money when you can. You never know what will happen next year and you can always go back to college.

    If he is a lottery pick, I don't think he can get that kinda money from the NIL, even if so, his stock want or can't get better with being a very top pick. He ca always go get his degree if need be but you can't always predict being in the NBA. Just saying.

    Well, if he goes to the NBA, he'll earn every dollar he is paid. One thing about the NBA, he'll probably be able to fill it up from outside since nobody in that league plays defense. Still, I'm going on the record and say he doesn't come out this year. I see him being at UK for at least one, maybe two more years. I DO hope I'm wrong, though!!
