2021 NBA Draft: 'I've been on the phone to Steve Kerr once a week' - Luc Longley raves about Josh Giddey's NBA potential

As the 2021 NBA Draft draws nearer, rising Aussie prospect Josh Giddey continues to climb the draft boards.

Following a standout season in the NBL for the Adelaide 36ers, Giddey has cemented himself as a potential lottery selection and three-time NBA champion Luc Longely says he has all the makings for a future star in the NBA.

"I think he's going to translate so well, that I've been on the phone to Steve Kerr once a week [saying] 'Steve look at this guy Steve don't miss this guy, do not sleep on this guy,'" Longley said on NBA Australia's Courtside Huddle.
