After four turbulent years in Stillwater, Cameron McGriff is a professional basketball player.
McGriff signed with Belgian club Okapi Aalst about three months after he played his last game for Oklahoma State thanks to the coronavirus ending his senior season.
“It was a great opportunity for me, just finding a sense of security throughout this crisis we’re going through,” McGriff told PFB. “Just not knowing, the uncertainty of what’s in front of me as far as basketball is scheduled in the states, I felt the best route currently right now was to go to Belgium.”
In a normal year, a fringe draft pick like McGriff would be working out with NBA teams and working to improve his stock at the combine, but in the midst of this COVID-19 pandemic, McGriff hasn’t been afforded those opportunities.
