Jagshaanbir Singh Friday became the first male player from the NBA Academy India to receive a basketball scholarship with a program in the US after he was signed up by the Golden State Prep (GSP).
The 6ft 10inch center will join the Post Graduate Program of the institute based in Napa Valley next month.
Jagshaanbir was one of the first prospects to get selected for the NBA Academy India through the ACG-NBA Jump program in 2017. The same year, he was selected for the NBA's Asia Pacific Team Camp held in China.
On his selection, Jagshaanbir said, "This program will be a new challenge and I am positive that at Golden State Prep I will hone my skills further. I would like to thank the team at the NBA Academy India that contributed to my growth and prepared me to take this next step forward."
