Texas basketball had one selection in the 2018 NBA Draft, and it came very early on in the first round. With the sixth overall pick in the first round of the 2018 NBA Draft, the Orlando Magic were the lucky franchise that selected former Longhorns’ star center Mohamed Bamba. In the NBA Summer League in 2018, Bamba got his first taste of action at the next level.
Bamba also got to face some of the best rookie competition that he’ll see in the NBA this season. At one point he even got to take on the No. 1 overall pick of the Phoenix Suns in the 2018 NBA Draft in the NBA Summer League.
