Before Kaleb Wesson even will have a chance to get drafted by an NBA team, he plans to play professionally in another league.
Wesson will participate in this summer's edition of The Basketball Tournament, joining Big X, which already features four of his former Ohio State teammates. His brother, Andre, along with CJ Jackson, Keyshawn Woods and Andrew Dakich are also slated to play with Big X.
By playing in TBT, Wesson will get an opportunity to prove himself worthy of getting picked by an NBA team. In a sense, he's betting on himself. He's currently viewed as a borderline second-round draft pick, and if he gets selected, he'd be the first player to participate in TBT before getting drafted.
