Barlowe on a recent pod said he was talking to a NBA agent who was speculating Whitmore is going to sit the entire season. Whitmore doesnt need to step onto a court at all he could lock in a high lotto pick just on potential. Now Barlowe did say this is a agent talking and he thinks like a agent its speculation so dont take it as gospel. He said its not something he heard anywhere but that agent fwiw.
The point is some of these guys are already so high on NBA teams boards they dont even need to play anymore to stay high picks and really only have things to lose by playing. The Thompsons can play the league that suits them and then go kill some personal workouts and their good to go for the NBA. Of course it raises their bust risk if we cant see them in Gleague or the NCAA but for the players themselves sitting out or playing in the league like this makes alot of sense.
well ****. please let him be wrong.
why? he should tell the coaches F U and bounce. i'm the top recruit in the country and Jaylen Blakes is going to get more mins than me? yea no.
