Ghanaian Youngster Amida Brimah To Test NBA Draft Waters

Young Ghanaian Basketball sensation, Amida Brimah is set to test the NBA draft waters in May this year.


Brimah, a University of Connecticut’s 7-foot junior center, has declared for the 2016 NBA draft, according to a report by Yahoo! Sports.


The 22-year old product of the Wesley Grammar School in Accra will not hire an agent and has the ability to pull out of the draft and retain his collegiate eligibility until May 25.


He can work out for NBA teams in the interim and hope for an invite to the NBA draft combine, which ends on May 15.


Brimah is not expected to be a first-round draft pick and probably won’t be a second-round pick, either.


And even if he does get selected in the second round, he almost certainly won’t get guaranteed money.


Teams don’t have to guarantee money to second-round picks, though sometimes do.


The Boston Celtics, for instance, gave guaranteed money to LSU center Jordan Mickey after taking him in the second round last year.
