Just when you think Klutch Sports can’t keep growing, they add another All-Star player. And while it’s not quite official that Atlanta Hawks All-Star guard Trae Young will be joining La Familia Klutch, Yahoo’s Chris Haynes reports that Klutch Sports is the likely landing spot for Young after his previous agent at Octagon, Omar Wilkes, joined Klutch as their head of basketball.
Wilkes had been at Octagon for the past 8 years and represented Young, among others, such as Toronto’s OG Anunoby and Young’s Hawks teammate Cam Reddish. He is also the son of Los Angeles Lakers legend Jamaal Wilkes.
Klutch announced the addition of Wilkes yesterday and Young reportedly notified Octagon of his decision.
LeBron James himself has long been a big fan of Young and his game. Young was a camper at LeBron’s basketball camp since he was an 8th grader and during Young’s one year at Oklahoma, LeBron was one of his biggest fans. So, while it took some big moves, a unity between James and Young seems to have been in the cards for some time.
