Basketball betting: Top NBA draft foreign prospects
Is the NBA betting on foreign prospects? The annual draft traditionally focuses on homegrown talent, but there is no denying that international stars have helped make the league what it is today. The impact that players like Dikembe Mutombo, Arvidas Sabonis, Rik Smits, Dirk Nowitzki, and more recently Tony Parker is indelible. This year’s draft class has been touted as one of the most promising in a long time, and while foreign prospects may not be capturing the top picks, they will certainly be hot commodities.
First of all there is Australian 18 year old guard Dante Exum. Though born in Melbourne, Exum’s American father Cecil won an NCAA championship in 1982 with the University of California, alongside future legends Michael Jordan and James Worthy. Cecil was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in 1984 but ended up playing in Australia’s National Basketball League for such teams as the North Melbourne Giants, Melbourne Tigers, and Geelong Supercats. Dante has participated in the FIBA Under-17 World Championship and the 2013 FIBA Under-19 World Championship, as well as the 2013 Nike Hoop Summit. Exum is expected to be drafted by the Magic.
