Kader went pro right about the time he starting showing up around the Supreme guys, right? It was a use it or lose it situation for Baker.
I’d bet this is the same sort of thing. Offers from other teams were probably coming in. Factor that in with Red Bull, kook skate dad, and actual ability and a long future if he doesn’t pile out, it makes sense to turn him pro.
From a money aspect anyway. He’s constantly on Provost and Leo’s insta. He’s at least coming up around solid dudes. Maybe the kid stands a chance.
