It’s about time: we have a second Belgian in the NBA. After Toumani Camara last season, another Belgian has also been drafted into the biggest basketball competition in the world this year: Ajay Mitchell. He was the 38th overall pick of the New York Knicks, but was immediately traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In the second round of the NBA draft, Ajay Mitchell won. Our compatriot, who was allowed to blow out 22 candles earlier this week, was not selected in the first round yesterday, and today was the 38th pick by the New York Knicks.
They immediately traded him to Oklahoma City and Mitchell became the Thunder. He will join fellow countryman Toumani Kamara in the NBA, a childhood dream for the Belgian.
Last season, Mitchell starred for Santa Barbara in college basketball. It’s more than enough for the playmaker to earn a spot in the world’s biggest basketball competition.
