Nebraska Basketball: James Palmer Jr. has golden opportunity

A former Nebraska Basketball star is aiming to take his talents to the next level. James Palmer Jr., who had a great career at Nebraska, is headed to the NBA G League Elite Camp. He was one of 30 players selected to participate.

Palmer had a tremendous senior campaign last season. He averaged 19.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and three assists. He was third in the Big Ten in scoring. He was tops in Nebraska Basketball history, as he set single-season records for points (708) and minutes played (1,269) among other categories. He truly carried Nebraska Basketball on his back in certain parts of the season, particularly during the rough patch that we saw during the beginning of second semester.
