Dragan Bender (’97) Impresses Scouts on Day 1 at adidas EUROCAMP 2015!

By Sam Neter on June 7, 2015

Check out 7’0″ Dragan Bender’s performance on Day 1 at adidas EUROCAMP 2015, where he left NBA scouts drooling at his potential.

Showing a little bit of everything, his vision was insane for a seven footer, with a number of pin point passes, while causing problems for opposing teams with his length.

The Croatian signed with Maccabi Tel Aviv last year, but spent this season loaned to Ramat Gan which is in Israel’s second division.

Bender is one of the best 1997 born prospects in Europe and considered a potential top 10 pick in the 2016 NBA draft.

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.
