Forty athletes from North Texas earned a coveted invite to the Mavs Basketball Elite Combine (20 boys, 20 girls) and some of the top seventh and eighth graders will compete at the Lympo Practice Facility, the official practice court of the Dallas Mavericks.
The student-athletes were selected because of their athletic excellence, leadership and commitment to the game.
“It’s important for us to be in the gym with these kids because we bring NBA knowledge to youth basketball at the elite level,” said Brad Freeman, Dallas Mavericks Director of Youth Basketball (Elite). “We are excited that we can be a part of elite basketball because for the first time the NBA is allowing teams to work with elite-level youth players.
