ESPN.com reported that 29 of 30 NBA teams gathered to scout international players aging from 15 to 23. 81 players from 38 countries displayed their measurements, scrimmaged, and were interviewed. Can you guess the one team that chose not to attend? The Chicago Bulls organization chose not to fork over $10,000 to attend the camp.
NBA executives reported that the most significant evaluation was of the ‘International Select Team.’ The International Select Team contained potential first round players in 2019 and 2020. Getting a first-person view of the players is a great tool for evaluation. Especially for a rebuilding team that needs all the help that it can get.
