Keenan Henderson Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 On 4/25/2022 at 9:36 AM, GoldenEagleFan said: There is no way Max did not enter the draft. My guess is he just did not publicly announce his entry as he did last year. I wonder if the NBA puts out an official list or makes it known to the public? Exactly right! Good call Golden Eagle Fan. Just some thoughts: last year when Max entered it was big news, even posted on the ESPN web page but this year not even ORU's brightest fans knew about it. As mentioned before Max has gone way down on the draft boards and would be blessed to be drafted in the 4th or 5th round (which of course ends at the second round). If he enters for good it would be a big surprise but stranger things have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTerry Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Wrong about you knowing about it - or about being one of ORU’s brightest fans? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 Right OT, you and Golden Eagle Fan thought Max would enter the draft, even though there was no announcement from him. Just seems a little odd it was kept so quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenEagleFan Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 For me it just wouldn’t make sense to enter the draft in 2021 and not enter it in 2022. I wish I was “in the know”! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle88 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 So if Max tries out for the G League is he eligible to come back to ORU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 As I understand it, as long as he doesn’t hire an agent or sign a contract, he maintains his eligibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle88 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Thanks Terry. Maybe he comes back but it would be great for him if he makes it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaglefan 21 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Not 100% if I have this right but it appears that Max has signed with an agent. The person (joshbeauregardbell) who created this post that max added to his Instagram story says in his profile he is an agent with octagon. Hope I’m misunderstanding it.

ORUTerry Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Max can sign an agent to handle his NIL deals and keep his eligibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan Henderson Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 It basically comes down to does Max want to return for his senior year and have a chance to go back to the NCAA tournament and of course graduate. Or take option B of playing in the G league. The draft or making an NBA team is off the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenEagleFan Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I'm curious how many on this board believe that Max will be back next year? I, for one, don't see that happening. I guess we won't know until June 1, but I think either way, this team is stacked with some really nice pieces! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I think he is coming back. Participating in the NBA draft process is helpful to him; it allows him to know what skills he needs to hone and what his competition is at that level. It is also good for ORU to have players in that process. And I am an eternal optimist… but if he leaves, I would totally understand and support him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Max leaving last year was a much greater risk than it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he can go overseas and make $200k to $300k a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleManiac Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 At this point, I doubt he leaves. Two months ago I would have bet my house that he'd enter the transfer portal and be gone, but at this point I'd make the same wager that he's in a Golden Eagle uniform in November. I just don't think he'll be able to garner the same interest he did last year, unfortunately. Hopefully he proves me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
