Draft Dreams In The Making

Millions of basketball players outside the United States dream of one day playing in the NBA. Thousands of those youngsters make their way onto the radars of NBA scouts patrolling the globe on the lookout for the next Drazen Petrovic, Arvydis Sabonis, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, Dirk Nowitzki or Giannis Antetokounmpo. Those talent observers criss-cross Europe and the rest of the world and watch prospects playing at both club and national team competitions - and that both at the youth and senior levels. "Draft Dreams In The Making" is a compilation of articles written by David Hein about many of the international players who have shined at one or more of those competitions and have either declared themselves for the 2020 NBA Draft or are automatically eligible - those 1998-born players. The articles in this book were published on the websites for the events where the players were competing - be it FIBA, Euroleague Basketball and Basketball Champions League events. Not all international players who are in the 2020 draft pool are included in this book - solely those about whom an article was written. Hopefuly you enjoy this book as much as the author did writing the articles in it.
