Draft Terrence Clarke for the NBA
Draft Terrence Clarke for the NBA
Why this petition matters
Terrence Clarke tragically died in a car accident on Thursday, 22nd April. He was declared for the 2021 NBA draft after playing his freshman season for the University of Kentucky.
This petition is being created to ask the NBA to show their support by drafting Terrence despite the tragedy.
According to www.ukathletics.com, Terrence scored in double figures in four of his first five games and was shooting 49.1% prior to the North Carolina game, when he suffered his leg injury. He played through the injury vs. UNC and the next game at Louisville before being sidelined for the conference season.
Despite missing more than two months of action, Terrence battled back to provide support and depth for his teammates in the Southeastern Conference Tournament game vs. Mississippi State.
Terrence signed with Kentucky out of Boston as one of the top prospects in the 2020 high school class. A consensus five-star prospect, he was ranked as high as No. 8 in the final Rivals rankings.
The 2020 England Preparatory School Athletic Council AAA Player of the Year led Brewster Academy to the 2019 National Prep Championships and had his team back in the 2020 finals before the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the rest of the event.
Terrence was deeply loved and supported by his peers. His talent, hard work, and dedication showed on the court and for these reasons, he should be drafted into the NBA.
Confirmed victory
