Kevin Knox turns down a $1.4M offer to play pro basketball in China
Knox will play in NCAA next season.
Kevin Knox will play in NCAA but the player and his family turned down an $1.4 million offer to play in China next season.
Knox is expected to declare for the draft in June 2018.
Per TampaBay, A consensus five-star recruit, Kevin is guaranteed of playing at a big-time college program. He has narrowed his choices to Duke, FSU, Kentucky, Missouri and North Carolina and will make his decision sometime between April 26 and May 10.
Will Kevin be the first from the area to do just that?
He has already turned down an offer to turn pro as soon as he graduates from Tampa Catholic. A professional team from China called his parents last month, offering $1.4 million for their son to play overseas for a year before entering the NBA draft.
"I didn't put much stock into the offer," said his father, also named Kevin. "We politely said thanks but no thanks. He's going to college."
