I read somewhere that it is problematic for international students to participate in NIL deals unless all the work and payment is done in their home country.

International students are on student visas and if they were to get paid in NIL they'd need work visas, which are much harder to get.

Lee declares for draft

Lee makes the G-League Elite Camp, but not (yet) the NBA Draft Combine:

Tosan got the same treatment but earned a Combine invite after his Elite Camp showing. Xaivian stated his intent to return barring a crazy offer, so I think it's all but certain now that he's coming back. Being a potential late 2nd rounder isn't worth leaving Princeton early.
It'll still be a great experience to meet with NBA teams and play against other top players. But the best way to boost that draft stock is with a monster junior year and NCAA tourney run. It would be amazing to see Lee stay for his senior year too, but I'm under no illusions in that department.

Every time I see that there is a new post on this topic, I prepare myself for the worst. Please, Xavian. Another year.

Live feed of Day 1 Elite Camp scrimmages:

Lee is playing in the first game (#34 in black). In his first stint, he made 1-2 threes, got a steal, and got a couple more defensive stops. Looked very poised.
I'll probably watch the rest later. The G League channel eventually posts the entire video of scrimmages when it's over.

Lee had a lot of great passes (6 assists) and some nice defensive plays (knocked 3-4 balls loose). Teammates didn't always finish but he was a true PG (+17). A couple of highlights:

Lee barely shot (1-3, 5pts) with Boogie Ellis filling it up, but he was the floor general for his team in victory. He even got a postgame shoutout from his coach (00:30 mark):

"Our guards set the tone. Boogie Ellis out of USC and Lee from Princeton... like I said set the tone, running the offense."
I think Xaivian did well to show his all-around game on Day 1. Looking forward to him scoring a bit more tomorrow.
