The NBLxNBA Jump: Who's Got Next?

When Ousmane Dieng and Jack White make their NBA debuts this season, the number of guys to make the Association via the NBL will climb to forty. Forty! That’s a massive number and, remarkably, when that happens an enormous forty percent of those players will have made that leap in just the last few years. Yep, sixteen guys will have joined the club since Mitch Creek stepped out for Brooklyn in January 2019, including Jae’Sean Tate, LaMelo Ball and Josh Giddey. But who was the first player to forge that path? And who will be next? In his latest video essay for NBL Media, Liam Santamaria explores the NBLxNBA pathway and why, right now, it’s busier than ever.
