I don't know. I think the leg thing - namely, the susceptibility he appears to have for lower leg injuries - complicates things. Rock and a hard place. I think he absolutely could not afford to come back to UK and suffer another injury. That would make him toxic, and effectively end the NBA dream. So, I get why he'd leave. However.......he's not getting drafted this year (presumably), so he's going to the G League - and if he's likely to get injured at UK, he's just as likely to get injured in the G League.
