If you have dreams of competing in the NBA, the best route is through the D-League. Why not start with the organization that won the championship in both the NBA and the D-League?
The San Cruz Warriors will hold their annual local player tryouts for the 2015-16 NBA D-League season. This opportunity entails a chance to be noticed by both Warriors basketball operation staff.
Even if you don’t make the squad, at least you’ll have the opportunity to play at the Warriors Practice Facility in Oakland. Don’t forget about Based God. In 2012, he tried out for the Dubs but was ultimately cut.
