re: 2024 Basketball team

When I first read that quote I had the same reaction as everyone else. But it also felt off or forced. Is it a possibility his group/agent has put this out there to try and convince teams that what they saw last year is just the tip of the iceberg and not a finished product? If he had came out and said “This past season was the best version of me you will see” it may give some teams pause on his potential.

Again, it’s a bad look. But maybe it was a bad choice of words for the right reasons. At least I hope so. I would assume most NBA organizations talk to their college coaches when evaluating a prospect. So it just seems like you wouldn’t intentionally make a comment like that.
