This is the most lame thing I’ve read on here. If people think other college kids in the draft don’t have their parents hovering over them and wanting the best for their kids in the long run you must be pretty ignorant to the way a family works. To say one player in the draft is going by what his family wants is the dumbest thing I see on here. Of course the family is going to be in on the process, it’s how a supportive family works.
It’s also the nature of the culture he comes from. Asian and Pacific Islander families are well known for their structure, discipline and pressure they place on their children to achieve to the highest. I’m not saying I agree or subscribe to it, but I also recognize that it’s not uncommon within those cultures.
Most American raised folk won’t ever identify or understand.
