Former Duke Blue Devils star Kyle Filipowski went viral this week after he fell out of the first round. The big man could be seen embracing his girlfriend, Caitlin Hutchison.

The 7-ft-0 power forward was left disappointed after not hearing his name being read, considering that he had shown up at the Barclay Center fully expecting to be among this year’s top 30 picks.

Soon, the talk around Kyle Filipowski would shift to a dark place.

Filipowski’s drop to the second round in this year’s draft came with a significant twist, as some teams seemed to be concerned over some off-court issues with his fiancee, Caitlin Hutchison.

ESPN’s Jonathan Givony revealed on “The Lowe Post” podcast and on “NBA Today” that teams had been “talking about” the age gap between Filipowski and his girlfriend, Caitlin Hutchison. Not only that, but he is estranged from his family, as he doesn’t speak to his parents or his brother.

“NBA teams are talking about the fact that they had question marks about his girlfriend being so much older than him, why was he estranged from his family because of this whole situation,” Givony said on “NBA Today.” “He apparently doesn’t talk to his parents or his brother, and It’s a very, very odd situation. I personally don’t understand why it would cause him to drop like this into the second round.

“There are no questions about his character, but NBA teams are talking about his nerves, and his workouts weren’t great. And when they asked him about the situation in interviews the answers they got weren’t satisfactory for them.”

As for Caitlin Hutchison, she has not stated a word.

Her Instagram is very much active, as she boasts around 3,400 followers on the site.

She has taken measures to stop abuse from fans by locking comments on every post.

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts

During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.

The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.

This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.

One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.

He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.

He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
