Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 3917450, member: 3850"] [I]To say that Kyree Walker turned heads earlier this week when he announced that not only was he foregoing college but also a pro career in order to focus on training for the 2021 NBA draft, would be severely understating it. “I know it surprised some people,” Walker said. “The development that I wanted to have to get ready for the draft, it would be different from others. I felt like if I went to college, I wouldn’t have that same development. I just want to get ready for 82 games.” Walker announced that he would be training with Chameleon BX and renowned trainer Frank Matrisciano in preparation for the draft. As is stands, players must be 19 years old or one year removed from high school to declare for the draft, per league rules. Had he gone to college, Walker was clear on which school he would’ve attended. “I would’ve gone to Memphis,” Walker said. “Penny Hardaway is a player’s coach, he played in the league and was a point guard himself. I would’ve played the point and we made the tourney.”[/I] If Kyree Walker is drafted...he would have really have written a new chapter on draft paths....skipped his HS senior season...chose not to go the college route and instead spent that year training for the draft.
