Opting for Team Ignite is not a guaranteed passport to the first round of the Draft. Sidy Cissoko can attest to this, and his teammate Mojave King Also. A year ago, the New Zealander chose to leave the NBL and join this G-League selection to catch the eye of the scouts.
Finally, he came out with a modest 47th place in the Draft, and he became the 3rd “Kiwi” in history to be drafted after Sean Marks and Steven Adams. But’Indy Star also reveals that he will not be integrated into the workforce of the Pacers. The Pacers have planned to give their “two-way contract” to Isaiah Wong (55th choice), to the undrafted player Oscar Tshiebwe and Kendall Brown, seen six times this season in the NBA, should recover the 3rd and last contract.
For King, whose rights belong to the Pacers, the only option is to go back abroad, and probably to the NBL where he has already played for the Adelaide 36ers and the Southland Sharks.
