"Somebody would've put $3,000,000 on the table for you": Insider speculates on NIL package RJ Luis Jr. passed up by staying in NBA draft
Briefly

RJ Luis Jr., a guard for St. John's Red Storm, has decided to remain in the 2025 NBA draft. Announced via social media and discussed by analysts, Luis has two speculated paths: either remain in the draft with uncertain pay or promote a return to college basketball for significant NIL compensation. Following a successful season, where he led the team to a standout record and championship, Luis's decision weighs his chances of an NBA career against lucrative college opportunities, suggesting he could earn more staying in school.
“Option A, stay in the draft. It's unclear if you'll even be picked, Parrish said. And if you are picked, ... you're probably making less than $600,000 next year.”
“Option B, just make it clear to everybody: I'm playing college basketball next season... Who's got $3 million? You don't even have to put a number on it.”
