I wanted to explain a line in a story I wrote for Thursday’s paper.
Mensah-Bonsu received a three-game suspension for unspecified draft improprieties. Seattle-based agent John Greig, who represents Mensah-Bonsu’s brother Kojo, repeatedly told The Hatchet last summer that he was representing Mensah-Bonsu. The London native denied the claim at the time but recently confirmed he will be represented by Greig. Greig has no clients currently in the NBA. Kojo Mensah-Bonsu plays in Europe.
I was at the pre-draft camp in Chicago and covered Pops’ draft declaration very closely. I spoke with John Greig every day and Pops did have contact with him. Greig, on nearly every occasion I spoke to him, told me that Pops’ announcement was coming any day and that he would put me in touch when the time came.
A lot of unanswered questions.
