On Thursday night, Cameron Oliver hopes to hear him name called at the NBA draft, which would be the fulfillment of a life-long dream, and he doesn’t want to miss out on that opportunity in person.
The Wolf Pack alum is flying to New York on Tuesday morning and will be attendance for Thursday’s draft, which begins at 4 p.m. Pacific time in Brooklyn. Joining him will be his agent, Todd Ramasar; his long-time girlfriend, Alecia Ashford; and his 6-month-old son, King, who was born in December.
Oliver is projected to be a second-round selection in the draft, and thus didn’t get a green room invitation, but he made the decision last week to attend the draft because it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
