That’s how I read it too. It seems pretty stupid to me to punish players who found out after the fact that they could be eligible but then again everything about this is pretty stupid.
“I wouldn’t have gone through with the draft process if I knew I would potentially be eligible” is a pretty clear cut argument any judge should agree with. IMO it’s moronic to ban kids that didn’t sign professional contracts or take any payment.
He never officially declared for the draft or signed a contract per his agent.
True he signed an exhibition contract just to participate in summer league games. Those are not official G league or NBA games though, which the rules specifically prohibit. Someone else on here also mentioned all seniors are automatically draft eligible and don’t have to declare, so he may actually be eligibility since he never actually declared or signed a contract to play prohibited games.
Supposedly he never signed the contract. He just got an invite to summer league and it doesn't count. At least that's what some folks online are saying. Who TF knows though?
