Givony on Kyle Filipowski: “NBA teams are talking about the fact that, they had question marks about his girlfriend being so much older than him, why was he estranged from his family because of this whole situation, apparently doesn’t talk to his parents, or his brother. It’s a very odd situation—”



I personally dont understand why it would cause him to drop like this into the 2nd round […] NBA teams are talking about his nerves, and his workouts werent great. and when they asked him about this situation in interviews the answers they got werent satisfactory for them

    Proof Sorkin is the greatest writer in Hollywood

    Moneyball is the GOAT sports movie for nerds like me

  3. Puzzleheaded_Pound31

    What the fuck does this have to do with ball!? This reads some teams think he’s a legit sociopath or something 😂

  4. BabaBrody

    Is he in a cult?

    This should really concern teams 31-40.

  5. How much older are we talking about? More than what Jalen Green and his baby moma ?

  6. Sleepinginabathtub

    His girl tanking his draft stock 💀

  7. Cyanides_Of_March

    Did any of his teammates go to his birthday party?

  8. uh oh Manti Te’o, someone’s coming for your weirdest GF story in pro-sports crown.

    He has no dog in him. Never will amount to anything in the nba. Giddey on the other hand has the drive to succeed

  10. I don’t know why this would prevent Utah from drafting him late in the 1st.

  11. He’s also just not very good. I mean look at the post highlights in this clip – prime example. Nothing but awkward finishes and him getting bullied off his spot. He did this non-stop at Duke, and those double clutch gross finishes are not working in the NBA.

    The dude can’t jump and isn’t a threat to finish lobs. Not a great FT shooter. Ok 3pt shooter but not great. He can handle the ball but doesn’t exactly have great vision or passing ability. He has decent foot speed, projects as a decent perimeter defender for his size, but his post defense and shot blocking will be a huge question mark. This guy literally does nothing at a hgih level. His absolute ceiling is a Kelly Olynyk type player and that is going to be a journey to get there.

    And this is coming from a Duke fan that watched most of his games. I HATE his game. He was so frustrating to watch.

  12. canceled4truth

    What I’m hearing is that he’ll be the next Aaron Rodgers

  13. wcooper97

    Utah took him lmfao, they said “fuck that we’ll take reverse Karl Malone”

  14. flawschoolgrad

    and utah just drafted him. bro is never getting out of that cult

    I would think it’s being estranged from his family that’s more of the red flag for his draft stock to drop than the girlfriend itself.

    It shows if the people closest to you can’t talk sense to you how would a team/organization be able to.

    Still a very creepy situation not taking anything away from that.

  16. Troll_Enthusiast

    Well he did punch a few people in college

  17. guywholikescheese

    Teams are worried he’s injury prone after almost losing his leg after the game against Wake Forest

    From *Moneyball*:

    Artie: I like Perez, he’s got a classic swing. He’s clean stroke.
    Barry: I don’t know. Can’t hit the curve ball.
    Artie: Well there is some work to be done, I ‘ll admit that.
    Barry: Yeah there is
    Artie: but he’s noticeable
    Keough: Got an ugly girlfriend
    Barry: whats that mean?
    Keough: Ugly girlfriend means no confidence

  19. Not gonna lie, it’s fucking wild that getting groomed by an older woman can tank your draft stock

  20. St_gracchus_babeuf

    the first NBA draft pick whose no-contact, such representation

  21. LosAngelesVikings

    It’s been shared on Duke forums that by the time he was 14, they were already dating. She would’ve been 20.

    In fact, he may have been as young as 13 when they started dating.

    Additional chatter:

    * She’s a family friend of sorts.

    * May have been his babysitter.

    * May be a cousin of sorts.

  22. LosAngelesVikings

    I’m surprised it took this long for this to be brought up. It’s been known in Duke forums for a while now.

    Definitely sketchy situation.
