Wilkes is joining Klutch as the company’s head of basketball, granting him significant power in a growing agency. Among Wilkes’ other clients are OG Anunoby of the Raptors and potential top draft pick Anthony Edwards.
Klutch is making major moves throughout the industry as it grows its footprint across multiple sports. This latest move may inadvertently open the door to them recruiting Young, one of the league’s brightest young stars.
