Arizona:Β Alkins is named all-Pac-12, helps the Wildcats reach their first Final Four in 17 years and improves on his skillset enough to ensure a guaranteed seven-figure contract as a first-round pick in 2018. His personality continues to make him a fan favorite, too, helping his potential endorsement leverage.
Professional:Β Alkins slips on an NBA roster as a second-round pick or undrafted free agent, thanks to his aggressiveness, determination and personality. Or he at least gains a two-way contract, is listed for enough NBA games to make in the low six figures, and gets a better shot at an NBA roster slot in 2018-19.Β
