While many assume that Kentucky freshman James Young is already set to put his name into the NBA Draft, his godfather (Sean Mahone) insists that is not accurate.
“We feel blessed. Everybody wants to be part of the championship game experience. That means you might not be on the right end of the final game, but who wouldn’t rather be there with a chance than not even being in the game. Honestly for us, right now it has been such an emotional roller coaster ride and we are seeing so much through James’ eyes. We are not rushing to make any decisions.”
“I’ve always said the worst time you can make a decision is when you are emotional,” Mahone said Friday. “We don’t want to rush anything. There is no sense of urgency right now to make any decision.
“We are in a cool down period and just want to see where we are at and what will eventually be best for James. We will spend time as a family. He’s been in class this week and focusing on that. We will just try to evaluate and see what our best options will be.
