The Murcian power forward Izan Almansa (18 years old) announced this Tuesday through his social networks that he will participate in the NBA draft. The player has played this season for the G League team Ignite and feels ready to make the jump to the best League in the world.
Izan even appeared in the top-15 in some draft predictions at the beginning of the season, although the latest predictions place him in the second round. His goal is to attend the 'Draft Combine', a type of camp held in Chicago in mid-May where applicants will be able to test themselves, undergo physical tests and try to climb positions in the rookie draw.
Almansa is one of the most promising Spanish players and is called to be a reference in national basketball in the coming years. «My dream is to be able to play in the NBA one day, go far in basketball and win something with the national team. I don't know where I see myself in the draft, really, wherever. I am very excited about the time ahead now, it is time to train and work. I am very excited about this stage. Wherever they catch me, I'm going to give everything and I'm going to give my best to be the best possible,” he said on April 5 after receiving the Princess Leonor award for the best Spanish athlete under 18 years of age from the King of Spain.
