The day has arrived for Australian prospects with the NBA Draft commencing in Brooklyn from 10:00 AEST.
All four prospects rose as star representatives for their State & Territory and further developed their game at Basketball Australia’s Centre of Excellence & NBA Global Academy.
“All four came through state-based performance programs then into BA camps and of course, the COE or the NBA Global Academy. The common theme you could see in all was a real passion for the game and a willingness to be coached,” said Robbie McKinlay, Head Coach – Centre of Excellence.
“Basketball is truly a global game and the NBA wants the best players, regardless of where they are from. The basketball world is a small one in terms of if there is a skilled player out there, teams and scouts will find them. Australian basketball has an outstanding reputation for developing players and these four guys are prime examples of that.”
