2020 NBA Draft: Million dollar babies
RJ Hampton has the name but Patrick Ewing’s protégé has the game. As two NBA Draft prospects trend in opposite directions, millions of dollars are at stake.
Four years in college versus one year in the Australian NBL. A springy combo guard from Texas and a 260-pound center from Turkey.
The respective journeys of RJ Hampton and Omer Yurtseven couldn’t be any different, but they are both on fascinating paths as they try to achieve their dream of being drafted into the NBA.
A year ago, the Portland Trail Blazers probably didn’t have either of these guys on their radars, but amazingly as we see Hampton drop, while Yurtseven rises, both players could be on the Blazers boards.
