Australian NBL Interested In James Wiseman If He’s Ineligible at Memphis
The Australian NBL would be interested in adding projected No. 1 NBA
Draft pick James Wiseman if he’s declared ineligible for the season at
Memphis.
One source with the NBL told Forbes SportsMoney the
situation “is a bit complicated with legal action” but that Wiseman
would be “a logical fit for the NBL if he was interested.”
In a statement, NBL Commissioner Jeremy Loeliger said of interest in Wiseman:
“Potentially, but it hasn’t even been a discussion yet. These decisions require a lot of due diligence on both sides to ensure it’s in everyone’s best interests. He’s exceptionally talented and of course we’d be interested, but honestly we haven’t even had a conversation with him or his family. I have no idea yet as to whether or not it would suit his plans, his personality or his aspirations.”
