Australian Deng Adel set to join Toronto Raptors
Australian swingman Deng Adel is heading north to the NBA's Toronto Raptors.
The 201cm tall, 21-year-old Adel has agreed to a partially guaranteed contract with the Raptors, The Athletic reported on Thursday.
It may not yet be evident to the casual basketball fan, but there's a revolution coming -- one that will see a new wave of South Sudanese-born Australians enter the NBA, writes Chris Tyler.
Adel, a star at the University of Louisville before going undrafted at this year's NBA Draft, appeared set to join the Minnesota Timberwolves after signing a training camp deal.
