Bad, bad decision. New Balance sold the kid a bill of goods.

Who is this and why should I buy his shoes?

This agent has literally no plan on how this kid is going to continue to improve his hoops skill development prior to the 2019 NBA draft during his “Internship“. He’s 6’9” and 195 pounds! But he gets $1 Million guaranteed. That’s like a billion to his family in all likelihood. They will blow it in a year.

This is pretty smart. No chance of injury and will probably be a round 1 or 2 player. Also makes some money and NB locks him into a possible marketing cash cow.

I guess New Balance is pulling out all the stops to change their "Middle Aged White Guy" shoe rep.
