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 a mil in NIL is chump change to what he will make in NIL. The league minimum in the NBA is 1.1 million. Being in the lottery he will make roughly 4 to 5 times that PER YEAR. And that is just on court. Add in endorsements and he will be clearing 6-7 mil a year. He would be incredibly stupid to not go to the highest level of basketball in the world.
