Bogus Smith Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 KO makes the All-Tournament team at the Portsmouth Invitational but, even though he was the Player of the Game for two out of the three games played, Sir'Jabari Rice was named the MVP of the PIT. Good showing by Kevin. He's starting to let his hair down at the next level.....literally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Obanor would be a missionary to the country of Los Angeles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenj Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 He is going to make very good living overseas for the next decade. If he has the career that Caleb Green had it will be a great thing. Make $ 500k to $1 million a year with limited taxes would be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have probably started that career two years ago when he decided to leave ORU and go to Texas Tech because he wasn't going to be drafted in the NBA. He had his college degree and Texas Tech's money was taxable at US rates. That being said, you're correct that he should make a nice living across the pond(s) and have an opportunity to create a nice nest egg for his, and his family's, future.

I heard, from what I consider to be a reliable source, that he got $250K in NIL money from Tech. At that level of compensation, it was probably worth taking a chance that he could improve his NBA prospects by playing at Tech for another year or two. Taxes are always a consideration as you point out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for him. From what I understand, there is no guaranteed money with these contracts, but usually a bonus of up to $50K if the player is eventually waived. It's a good way for Kevin to show his worth to the Raptors, who obviously saw something in him that they liked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ORU40 Posted June 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2023 KO has signed an exhibit 10 contract, not a 1 year deal for the league minimum, it allows him to attend training camp (a player cannot attend camp without a contract of some kind- either a regular contract, a 2 way deal or exhibit 10 contract) it also gives the team his G league rights and he can get up to a $50k bonus if he stays with their G league team for 60 days. It' basically the minimum deal teams use for undrafted free agents, but he'll be in camp and have a chance to show what he can do! If he plays great in camp, preseason and makes the roster it would convert to a 2 way or regular contract. It's a long shot, but good luck Kevin! Hope you play great and show them what you got! All the best!! 8 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptors current roster shows 19 guys, the players listed on the roster are signed to a contract, most guaranteed but not all, and includes Marques Nowell from Kansas St who is signed to a 2-way deal. The Exhibit 10 contract guys are not included on the roster and there are several of them. An NBA roster is 15 players with 2, 2-way contract players, KO will be battling for 1 possible roster spot with the guys in camp and anyone released by other teams in the future that the Raptors may like, teams usually bring new guys into camp even once it's started. Still very long odds, but he's taking the next step in his journey. Keep fighting Kevin, you're one step closer!! All Raptors on FanNation Following Raptors Add Mouhamadou Gueye as Training Camp Invitees Story by Aaron Rose • 2h ago Mouhamadou Gueye appears to have turned some heads in the Toronto Raptors front office thanks to a strong showing at Summer League last month. The 25-year-old forward has joined the team as a training camp invitee, the Raptors announced Tuesday. He joins Kevin Obaner on an Exhibit 10 training camp contract and Garrett Temple on a minimum contract whose contract all became official. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
