All isn’t lost yet, he has years to fix this situation
But does he? If he was some great player I'm sure there would be people who would move mountains to help, in anticipation of $$$ in the future. But he's a burnout who was going to be playing at Eastern Michigan. With two felony charges. Maybe they can get it dismissed or reduced but judges don't tend to be lenient when it comes to illegal guns, numbers being shaved off guns, etc.

He might miss the entire season, which once again delays his development. I just don't see this ending with him making the NBA.

@In The Zone '98 it wasn't his car, so when he didn't have a license/registration they started looking around.

Not a good sign for his future, some people just don’t have it together enough mentally to reach their potential

His pops tried to rush him to the fastest bag…he reclassified and technically should be an incoming freshman this season….I know most 17 year olds can’t make good choices…then throw in NIL money, delusional guidance, and an ego from being crowned too early.

He would’ve hated Izzo but it would’ve given him some discipline. Juwan could have schooled him first hand on what it takes to make the nba…
