Julian Newman on his agent
by Manon Culture: Julian Newman
Julian Newman is blaming his former agent for never reaching the NBA. He says the guy picked him up right after high school during COVID and promised the same NBL opportunities LaMelo had. But the agent had bigger NBA clients and was just selling a dream, so those deals never materialized. Newman says it cost him two or three years, and he ended up getting paid to play in El Salvador or China instead of the G League. #JulianNewman #LaMeloBall
