Kyle Filipowski’s Fiancee Mom Makes Cryptic Statement Amid Controversy Surrounding Mormon Culture Influence
Amid controversy over Mormon culture, Kyle Filipowski’s fiancée’s mother makes a cryptic statement. Read more to know what.
The Utah Jazz selected Kyle Filipowski, a seven-foot tall athlete who spent two seasons with the Blue, as the 32 overall pick during the NBA's first-ever two-day draft. The first round occurred on Wednesday night, followed by the second on Thursday.
Kyle Filipowski, a 20-year-old ex-Duke player, is currently engaged to Caitlin Hutchinson, who is 27. Their relationship has attracted attention due to both their age difference and allegations that Hutchinson began a relationship with Filipowski while he was still a high school student, with the aim of converting him to Mormonism.
Kyle Filipowski's mother-in-law emphasizes faith and resilience amid controversy
In the face of this scandal, Kyle Filipowski's mother-in-law, Amanda Hutchison, has highlighted the importance of faith and resilience, stating, "There will be things forthcoming". She strongly believes that the couple will overcome this controversy.
Further emphasising her beliefs, Amanda says, "We’ve always told our children that with every good thing, there will be adversaries if we have any kind of faith. There's a negative for every positive. It's all about how we deal with these obstacles."
Jonathan Givony, ESPN's draft insider, revealed to Zach Lowe on The Lowe Post that NBA teams expressed concern about the age gap between Filipowski and Hutchison and that it significantly contributed to Filipowski's drop from the first round of the draft, along with other factors.

Controversy surrounds Filipowski's NBA draft selection despite family allegations
The current disputes involving Filipowski's NBA draft selection, and his family's accusations continue to surround him. His mother and brother maintain that Hutchinson forced Filipowski to cut ties with his family two years ago. Nevertheless, Amanda, Hutchinson's mother, has countered these allegations, indicating that there are more aspects to be revealed and that they are maintaining a perturbed silence during this conflict-riddled time.
Undeterred by these accusations, the Utah Jazz singled out Filipowski as the 32nd overall selection in the 2024 NBA Draft. The team effectively brushed the allegations under the carpet during Filipowski's introductory demonstration, with their general manager, Justin Zanik, displaying enthusiasm at securing this opportunity to draft him.
Filipowski, who logged an average of 16.4 points and 8.3 rebounds in his sophomore year, was quick to join the league on Thursday. He trailed closely behind Jonathan Mogbo from the University of San Francisco, who was claimed 31st overall by the Toronto Raptors, ushering in the second round of the draft.
