The addition of agent Omar Wilkes to run the basketball department of Klutch Sports is already creating ripple effects across the basketball world, including a decision that will be made by one of the league’s most exciting young stars.
Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports that Atlanta Hawks All-Star guard Trae Young is considering leaving Octagon, where he was previously represented by Wilkes. Young will likely have no shortage of suitors, including Klutch.
The possibility of Young joining Klutch Sports already has Lakers fans turning their wheels about potentially adding him to their team.
LeBron James himself has been a big fan of Young’s for a long time, as Young was a camper at LeBron’s basketball camps when he was an 8th grader. ESPN reported on Wednesday morning that Wilkes would takeover the Klutch Sports basketball division to allow CEO Rich Paul to have more influence on other parts of their rapidly growing business, including NFL and MLB players.
