NBA Draft: Player selected after Luka Garza going different path

Luka Garza was the No. 52 overall pick in the NBA Draft and worked hard to get a two-way contract from the Detroit Pistons. The player selected right after him, Charles Bassey, is going a much different route, holding out for a multi-year NBA contract.

Even though he was the consensus national college player of the year, Luka Garza made no demands when the Detroit Pistons selected him 52nd overall in this year’s draft. Being only eight slots away from not getting drafted at all, he knew he had to prove himself to Pistons management.
