The “2024 NBA Basketball Camp Without Borders (BWB)” has been underway in Perth, Australia since the 19th.
The BWB is a prospect finding and fostering camp that the NBA has been holding in countries around the world since 2001 and has expanded its scope to Asia and Africa. Due to the aftermath of COVID-19, it was not held in 2020 and 2021, and it began to be held again in 2022.
A representative example of being invited to the camp when he was a prospect is Joel Embiid (Philadelphia), the MVP of the NBA regular league in the 2022-2023 season. In Korea, there are Lee Hyun-joong (Ilawara), Choi Joon-yong (KCC), Yang Jae-min (Sendai), Yeo Jun-seok (Gonjaga University), and Park Ji-hyun (Tokomanawa), who will play in the New Zealand league as a female player.
This year, a total of 60 high school prospects were invited from 10 countries in the Asia-Pacific region. A total of five were named in Korea. Eddie Daniel (second grader at Yongsan High School, 192cm, F), Kim Jae-won (second grader at Cheongju Shinheung High School, 196cm, F). Among the female athletes are Lee Ga-hyun (second grader at Supia Girls’ High School, 180cm, F), Hwang Hyun-jeong (second grader at Onyang Girls’ High School, 173cm, F), and Lee Won-jeong (second grader at Onyang Girls’ High School, 173cm, G).
Danielle stands out the most. Despite being a second grader and a designated player from the SK Wyverns in Seoul, Danielle has established herself as the ace of Yongsan High School. She also recently participated in the 2024 FIBA U18 Asia Cup in Amman, Jordan. She was selected as an FIBA player before the event, and was mentioned as a player to pay attention to. Danielle had 9.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists on average in six matches in the championship.
Kim Jae-won is the ace of Cheongju Shinheung High School and has various attack options. He has been recognized for his talent as he was selected as a member of the U16 national team last year.
Lee Ga-hyun also gained international experience in China as a member of the U18 national team in June. Hwang Hyun-jung and Lee Won-jung are playing as main players at Onyang Girls’ High School. Hwang Hyun-jung is a shooter who has also paid attention to FIBA. Lee Won-jung is a guard who has advantages such as brilliant dribbling and fast speed.
They are coached by NBA assistant coaches, including three-time FIBA basketball World Cups, NBA champion Aaron Baines (Australia), Olympic gold medalist and four-time WNBA champion Cynthia Cooper (USA).토토사이트 추천
