Diego Campos knows what it’s like for life to change in an instant.
He experienced the sensation as a teenager leaving his home country, and again last year when the Chicago Fire selected him in the MLS SuperDraft. His journey has also afforded him the opportunity to see the dreams of friends and classmates come to fruition.
And so when the 2019 NBA Draft tips off at Thursday night, the 23-year-old midfielder/defender will be keeping a close eye on Duke University star R.J. Barrett for exactly that reason.
Barrett, like Campos, is a product of Montverde Academy, a private high school located in central Florida.
