He’s a dude who has a legit shot at an NBA roster. But nobody is projecting him to be a round one guy.

He’s also a dude who would benefit more than most from a year with KY.

Also, (just guessing here) he’d benefit more from KY’s network of people over Pope’s or another random college team.

Also, it appears BYU has upped its NIL game.

If he were a projected first rounder, he’d be gone. But I think this is to test the water, get a better deal like Richie Sacramento and Hall

I really think KY is a game changer for Jax and I think he comes back with the express purpose of becoming “the guy” and developing into a first rounder.

I get that this take might be too logical for some. But it makes total sense.
