Izan Almansa will play in Australia before going to the NBA

The NBL –National Basketball League– de Australia is becoming one of the best showcases in the world with a view to falling into the NBA. A destination that was chosen at the time by players such as Alex Sarrrecently number two in the 2024 Draft, or LaMelo Balllittle brother of the media Ball family.

Sarr, of French origin, went to the United States with the same dream as so many others, that of succeeding in the best basketball league in the world, and although the path is usually very similar for everyone, the Bordeaux native, followed another lane. After playing in the youth academy Real Madrid with Izan himself, he spent a couple of years in a parallel league to the NCAA –National Collegiate Athletic Association– or American university league, to grow in the Overtime EliteAfter his time in the USA, he decided to go to Australia to play for the Perth WildcatsAlmansa’s new destination, and where the Frenchman has managed to increase his value to the point of being chosen number two in the 2024 NBA Draft.

The former player of the G-League Ignitewill seek in the same way as Sarr, to boost his value for the next Draft in 2025 in the Perth Wildcats of the Australian NBL. There his adaptability to the game can make him a good option in attack in his new team and enhance his physique. In addition The NBL schedule lines up perfectly with the draft dates. If your team does not qualify for the playoffs, you will have from February 2025 to prepare for the Combine –physical tests where draft prospects show their physical abilities– of 2025. If you reach the NBL playoffs, even better. They will coincide with the NCAA March Madness –month in which the final phase of the American university league championship is held– and therefore, he will be able to show off his game during the moment of greatest attention from prospects for the June 2025 Draft.

In short, it can be said that Izan Almansa’s ‘step back’ is the best idea in order to relaunch his NBA career, given the position in which he could have been selected this year or given the possibility of not even being selected in the first round.
