The 6-foot-7 guard has never experienced someone knocking on his window in the wee hours of the morning. But, his best friend Austin Eastman had no choice. Phone calls went unanswered. Text messages were delivered and not returned. Eastman, a former University of Utah walk-on who is a rising NBA player agent, tried everything but morse code.
“I know how bad Kenneth is with his phone, so after a couple of calls, I figured I had to take it into my own hands and go bang on his window until he woke up,” Eastman told The Salt Lake Tribune via text message on Tuesday afternoon.
