USA BASKETBALL TEAM TO PLAY AUSTRALIAN BOOMERS IN MELBOURNE
  
 
                     
Basketball Australia and the National Basketball League have welcomed today’s announcement that the Australian Boomers will play the USA Basketball Men’s National Team in Melbourne next year.

The games will be played at Etihad Stadium on Thursday 22 August and Saturday 24 August 2019 as part of both nations’ preparations for the 2019 FIBA World Cup in China.

NBL Owner and Executive Chairman Larry Kestelman said: “This will be the biggest basketball event ever held in Australia and a wonderful endorsement of the sport.

“The NBL has worked closely together with Basketball Australia to bring this event to Australia on the back of the relationships formed with NBA over the past six years including historic games between the NBL and NBA last October.

“I congratulate the Victorian Government, Basketball Australia, USA Basketball and TEG.and we will work with them to deliver what will be an amazing event for Australia and take our game here to the next level.

“Basketball is booming in Australia and we have enjoyed strong collaboration with Basketball Australia and everyone associated with the sport from the grassroots to the elite level.

“The NBL has enjoyed record crowds this season and there are now over million Australians playing the sport and many more following the game. The NBL is a world class league and entertainment product and the game is flourishing at all levels.”

The Chair of Basketball Australia Ned Coten said: "Under Larry Kestelman, the NBL has gone from strength to strength and the league is deservedly ranked as one of the premier competitions in the world. 

"The engagement with the NBA in the NBL v NBA three-match series late last year was a game-changer for the league and showed Australian sports fans just how competitive the NBL is.

"It is a credit to Larry and all the NBL clubs for the way they have embraced the Boomers in the new FIBA World Cup qualifying system as well. Our Boomers, featuring NBL athletes, are currently unbeaten in FIBA tournament play in Asia at 10-0 and have advanced to the second round of FIBA World Cup qualifiers."

Fans can register their interest in buying tickets to the Boomers v USA matches ahead of the ticket on sale in July. A limited number of corporate hospitality packages are on sale now. To join the waitlist or purchase corporate hospitality packages go to www.teglive.com.au
NEXT GEN CAMP TO UNEARTH AUSTRALIA’S NEXT BASKETBALL STARS

NEXT GEN CAMP TO UNEARTH AUSTRALIA’S NEXT BASKETBALL STARS

16/03/2018, Australia, Basketball, National Basketball League, Article # 26093149

 

 
 
NEXT GEN CAMP TO UNEARTH AUSTRALIA’S NEXT BASKETBALL STARS
  
 
Australia’s future basketball stars will converge on Melbourne on May 21-22 for the NBL’s Next Gen Camp.

The intense two-day camp will unearth the best young players from around the country under the watchful eye of NBL talent scouts at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre.

It will be the second instalment of the Next Gen Camp which brings together the NBL, Basketball Australia Centre of Excellence and the Australian Basketballers’ Association.

For the first time athletes from the NBA Global Academy based at BA’s Centre of Excellence will also take part in the camp.

It will also feature four players from China after winning the Sina Golden League 3x3 national championship in China.

NBL Chief Executive Jeremy Loeliger said Next Gen provided a pathway for young players into a professional basketball career.

“It is a key pillar of our relationship with Basketball Australia, giving us an annual fixture to connect the best young players with the NBL in an organised setting,” he said.

Working in partnership with all of the major bodies will ensure delivery of Next Gen’s objectives. Highly respected Patrick Hunt, President of the FIBA World Association of Basketball Coaches, will again act as Camp Director.

Next Gen will begin soon after Free Agency commences, which will ensure players stand the best chance of being recruited by NBL clubs.

It is anticipated that 80 participants in total will take part in Next Gen. These will include returning US college players, SEABL players, state league players, national U18 and U20’s representatives as well as invitees from the BA Centre of Excellence, NBA Global Academy and China.

“This will help to solidify Australia as the hub for basketball both in terms of development and professionalism within the region,” Loeliger said.

The two-day camp will employ the same testing techniques as the NBA’s event including physical testing, skills testing, offensive/defensive breakdowns and game play in order to give players the best opportunity to showcase their talents across all facets of the game.

Importantly, it will provide a great chance for NBL representatives and coaches to assess young talent. Rookie Me, the AFL’s national testing partner, will carry out all testing and will assist in the recording and distribution of all results.

Next Gen was first run and operated by the NBL after obtaining the rights from W Sports & Media who will again co-manage the event in conjunction with the NBL.

Participants can register to be a part of the Next Gen Camp at nbl.com.au/nextgen

NBL TO FAST TRACK NEXT STARS OF THE NBA

NBL TO FAST TRACK NEXT STARS OF THE NBA

02/03/2018, Australia, Basketball, National Basketball League, Article # 25946059
   

 
NBL TO FAST TRACK NEXT STARS OF THE NBA
  
 
The National Basketball League (NBL) has launched an innovative new player development program to fast track future stars of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
 
Under its ‘Next Stars’ program to be introduced for the 2018-19 season, the NBL will contract overseas players and develop them in Australia to give them the best chance of being drafted into the NBA.
 
The initiative follows the drafting of Terrance Ferguson by NBA team Oklahoma City Thunder after he elected not to go to college in the US, instead spending the 2016/17 NBL season with the Adelaide 36ers straight out of high school. He went on to be drafted number 21 in the First Round of the 2017 NBA Draft.
 
NBL Owner and Executive Chairman Larry Kestelman said: “Unlike other countries where players and agents deal with clubs, the NBL will directly contract the players. We will make sure the players get the development they need as part of the program with our clubs, giving them the best chance of success.
 
“The NBL provides strong visibility back to the US. Our league is closest to the NBA in terms of style of play and game day presentation. We will work to build a program to provide the right access to NBA teams and scouts alike.
 
“While they are in the NBL we will work with the players to help them develop an acute understanding of the life of a professional basketballer on and off the court and ensure they are equipped to make the transition to their professional careers. “
 
Next Stars players must be eligible to nominate for the NBA Draft, and will be hand-picked by a panel of experts to be appointed by the NBL.  Once selected, the pool of Next Stars players will enter into a contract with the league which will then place the Next Stars in NBL teams. Further details of how they will be placed will be announced shortly.
 
Those players selected will play at least one season with an NBL Club before nominating for the NBA Draft the following year (or potentially the season after).  
 
Kestelman said the program would be funded by the NBL in its first year, so that clubs could add an extra player to the 11 players currently on their rosters without any significant burden on them financially.  Any transfer fees that may be payable would be shared between the league and the relevant club.
 
NBL Chief Executive Jeremy Loeliger said: "The NBL is considered one of the best leagues in the world – it’s a grown man league and Next Stars will give these up and coming players an opportunity to create a name for themselves on the way to being drafted into the NBA.
 
"As Terrance Ferguson demonstrated, there are guys coming directly out of high school who have NBA aspirations and are good enough to be drafted. This will give them the chance to develop in a world class league in the NBL and push their claims for the NBA."
 
 “The system affords players who do not wish to go to college or cut their college careers short, the opportunity to demonstrate to international scouts they have what it takes to play professional basketball against fully grown men in one of the best professional leagues in the world where there is a long history of developing young, up and coming stars destined for the NBA,” Loeliger said.
 
“Importantly we understand that these are young adults who need to develop their life skills as well as their basketball skills. We will ensure they are equipped with the skills needed to succeed on the big stage while also having the chance to earn a professional living and pursue other endorsements that wouldn’t be available to them as college athletes.
 
“And they can do this in a familiar culture and with an attractive lifestyle – and all during an Australian summer. For a young athlete looking to prepare themselves for an NBA career it doesn’t get much better.
 
"We have a record number of Australians playing in the NBA right now and Australian basketball is probably more highly regarded around the world than it has ever been," Loeliger said.
 
"We see this an opportunity to further strengthen the talent pool of the NBL and enhance its standing both domestically and globally."
