The NCAA may have denied Oregon men's basketball star N’Faly Dante's request for an additional year of eligibility but an opportunity in the NBA lies ahead.
Dante was in the Bay Area Tuesday for a workout with the Golden State Warriors. The Dubs have the 52nd pick in the NBA Draft that they received via the Milwaukee Bucks. The first round of the draft will be televised on June 26 at 11 p.m. PDT while the second round is the following day at 7 p.m. PDT on ESPN.Dante reportedly had workouts previously with the Houston Rockets and Charlotte Hornets.
The 6-10 center is an excellent defender and does most of his damage offensively on put-backs and lobs. He cleans the glass very well and is strong rim protector. Many scouts are skeptical about him with trying to stretch out the floor and his struggles at the free throw line. Successful big men in today's game need to be able to shoot from anywhere on the floor. Most mock drafts have him as a late second round pick or a two-way player going undrafted.
" is something I've been looking forward to for a really long time," Dante said. "I'm glad I get a chance to do this."
