Bryan-Amaning Goes Undrafted
It was heartbreak for GB forward Matthew Bryan-Amaning on Thursday night as his name was not called at the 2011 NBA draft in Newark, New Jersey.
The University of Washington graduate has been on the workout circuit for the past couple of months and had received positive feedback from a number of teams (follow how he got on with our MBA NBA Pre-Draft timeline).
After the 60th pick was called, which saw his teammate Isaiah Thomas selected by the Sacramento Kings, Bryan-Amaning tweeted:
“Thanx for all the support yall..london sorry I kept yall up..guess it weren’t meant to be..congrats @Isaiah_Thomas2“
Bryan-Amaning will now look for an invite to an NBA team’s training camp or pursue a career in Europe.
Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
