Ashley Nevel's journey comes 'full circle' at NBA Summer League

The road to being an NBA reporter — and this year’s Summer League reporter — has been a long one for Ashley Nevel.

An Arizona journalism grad in 2013 and co-founder of the Sports Journalism Club on campus, Nevel covered UA basketball and football as part of the inaugural ESPNU Campus Connection program, an experience that she says still amazes her. From there, Nevel got credentials to cover Summer League, showing up to the chaotic Vegas environment with nothing but a selfie-stick and a phone looking to take advantage of an opportunity.

“I had no one to film for me,” Nevel said.
