After the long and exhausting journey to New Orleans, Su Xi didn't get a moment of peace.
In the hotel parking lot, he was accosted by a famous agent claiming he could bring him tens of millions in wealth. Then, a representative from a brand claiming they were about to create something more popular than Nike begged Su Xi for five minutes of his time...
Su Xi was overwhelmed by the attention.
Usually, only Carmelo Anthony got this kind of treatment.
Anthony would say, "Wait until I declare for the draft. An agent will be in contact with you."
But Su Xi just lowered his head and silently walked on.
That Sports Illustrated article changed everything. Su Xi had become a red-hot draft prospect, and more and more people believed he would be selected in the first round.
