6 Nigerian-descent players drafted in 2026. Nigeria has now produced 30 NBA players — most of any African nation. Here's every path they took to get there 🧵.. .

This is why we love basketball. OG thank you for representing for Africa 🇳🇬.

After a six-month search following the firing of Nico Harrison, Mavericks owner Patrick Dumont makes a major splash with his hire of a global basketball giant in Ujiri.

African basketball talent has never been the issue. Visibility has.

So we built Diaspora Drop, a new infrastructure for discovering players often missed by traditional scouting.

A database + tools that surface talent intuitively.

Excited about this, explore and ask away!

[Diaspora Drop @DiasporaDrop]

The Diaspora Drop scouting platform is officially live.

Physical data. Domestic context. Film. Contact pathways. All in one place.

I’ve seen Terrence grow from his high school days at Columbia Heights, truly an inspiring story!

[Fran Fraschilla @franfraschilla]

Two years ago, @terrencetbrown was fortunate to get a scholarship to @FDUKnightsMBB. This past year he was tremendous at @UtahMBB. Not sure where he’s gonna end up, but he’s got @NBA talent next year.

[Diaspora Drop @DiasporaDrop]

Elite talent is being missed every day. Not because it isn’t there, but because the information isn’t accessible.

We built something to change that.

The future of African basketball scouting is coming.

[Jerry Ngobi @NgobiJerry]

Can’t forget @CoachBoudyWIU, @D_Rongstad23, @Kyle_Heikkinen

The Whitewater tree is serious!

[Ben McKee @benmckee14]

Michigan coach Dusty May: "I called (Tennessee's) strength coach (Garrett Medenwald) and said, 'do you have anyone in your tree I need to interview or query? I have a lot of respect with how your guys play, how well they move, how physical they are.'

"Also, there's a different level the way they work and attention to detail. I've tried to absorb as much as I could from afar about his program. Couldn't have more respect for (Rick Barnes) as a human being."

[Jerry Ngobi @NgobiJerry]

Practicing late game situations is essential to true success.

[Jerry Ngobi @NgobiJerry]

Great contest, better shot

[Matt Norlander @MattNorlander]

HOLY S—

[Jerry Ngobi @NgobiJerry]

A group of young players I’m excited about!

[Ngijol Songolo @5ongolo]

Should be an exciting 2nd window of African #FIBAWC Qualifiers from a prospect standpoint across levels.

Two auto-eligible potential draftees who both went thru the draft process a year ago:
Ousmane Ndiaye 🇸🇳
Mathias M’Madi 🇲🇬
