NBA Star Groomed by GF
What a nightmare the 2024 NBA Draft turned out to be for Kyle Filipowski, who should’ve been a top 10 pick, but ended up not hearing his name at all on the first night. It was a bizarre moment to see him still in the dreaded NBA Draft green room at the end of the first day.
Its rare that an NBA prospect as popular as Kyle gets invited to the draft and then snubbed. Something had to have gone massively wrong for him to slip that far, that fast.

Dark Family Secrets
These details coming to the surface paint Hutchinson in a predatory light, especially with allegations from Filipowski’s family claiming she GROOMED him and made him cut off all contact with them.
X exploded with Filipowski’s brother and mom alleging Hutchinson’s long-term play to secure Filipowski, including converting him to her Mormon faith and leveraging his NBA potential.
This drama seemingly spooked NBA teams, who weren’t ready to navigate such a messy personal saga. And the reactions online are not holding back at how creepy this situation is:
“Honestly the fact that his mom and brother are airing dirty laundry on the biggest day of his life tells you what you need to know about them.”
“This is actually wild lol. I hope some more light is shed on this for his family’s sake”
“Well it’s too late he’s old enough to make his own choices now 18-24 lol unfortunately it’s legal but also weird”
She’s Getting Away With It?
But Despite no illegal actions and both being consenting adults now, the optics and rumors surrounding Filipowski and Hutchinson’s relationship undeniably tanked his draft stock. This narrative, heavily debated online, overshadowed his impressive basketball skills and potential.
As Filipowski embarks on his NBA journey, this story isn’t going away. Expect media questions and further scrutiny. For now, Filipowski's draft night plunge is a cautionary tale of how off-court issues can dramatically impact professional opportunities, even for a standout like him.
