NBA and BA launch Global Academy in Canberra

The National Basketball Association (NBA) and Basketball Australia (BA) today announced their plan to launch NBA Global Academy, the NBA's elite training centre at BA’s Centre of Excellence at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra.

Prospects from around the world will begin enrolling at NBA Global Academy in the coming weeks.

"Basketball Australia is thrilled to partner with the NBA on the development of promising young talent from around the world," said Basketball Australia Chief Executive Officer Anthony Moore.

“Our Centre of Excellence has a wonderful track record of producing athletes who can compete on the world stage, and we welcome the opportunity to share our knowledge and experience with the NBA.”

Any information on the scholarship holders? I thought I read that there was an Indian, an Argentinian and a West African players in the first international intake. Any more known?
