Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. Thank you to Baylor University for the opportunity to be part of such a special program and to work alongside incredible people every single day. The relationships, lessons, and memories I’ve gained here will stay with me forever.
With that said, I’m excited to announce that I’ll be moving on to a new opportunity and chapter in my journey. While it’s never easy to leave a place that’s meant so much, I’m incredibly thankful for everything Baylor has given me and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead. I will continue working with Baylor over the coming weeks before fully transitioning to my new role with @CourtXIV
#SicEm Forever 💚🐻
James Nnaji is a massive midseason addition for Baylor: 7’0”, 251 pounds with a 7’7” wingspan.
The 21-year-old spent three seasons in the EuroLeague with Barcelona and appeared with the Knicks in Summer League last July. Here he is training with Serge Ibaka in 2023.
NEWS: James Nnaji, the No. 31 pick in the 2023 NBA draft, has enrolled at Baylor, agents Gerard Raventos and Deirunas Visockas of Gersh Sports told DraftExpress.
A monumental development: a former NBA draft pick is immediately eligible to play college basketball this season.
Four years ago Baylor won a national title. This season that same program does not return one player who played a minute for the Bears last season. “Nobody’s exempt from it.”
