He was one of the great talents of this class and his name had every chance to appear first in the 2024 NBA Draft, but he encountered a sad reality. Kyle Filipowski was the star that was not selected by any of the 30 franchises and in the first round of the Draft.

After being chosen by the Utah Jazz in the second round, the reason for his fall in the Draft has been revealed. He had a big chance of being chosen higher according to the prospects, which is why he was summoned to the Green Room. However, he had to endure the ridicule of being ignored by the entire NBA.

Kyle Filipowski looked devastated to see how his obvious potential, shown at Duke University, did not earn him the interest of teams in the league. Interestingly enough, the reason behind this might shock every fan and follower, because it involved his parents and fiance�.

The strong belief behind this story

Kyle is 20 years old and his girlfriend, Caitlin Hutchinson, is turning 28. This wide age difference worries the franchises, who are very interested in the lifestyle of young players, and even more so knowing that their relationship began a long time ago.

Therefore, it is thought that the woman began her romantic relationship with the player when he was a minor. The most incredible thing about all this is that Kyle Filipowski's mother and brother have reported on social media that Caitlin took her son away from his entire family, in order to introduce him to the Mormon faith and everything it entails.

She zealously seeks to isolate him from his origins and make her the center of his life, promoting a wedding between them immediately, in order to qualify for the broad economic possibilities that he will have as an NBA player. An impressive soap opera that, to family members, has cost him a better opportunity in the NBA.
