NBA Academy India product Jagshaanbir Singh has been signed by the Point Park University men's basketball team as its overseas player for the 2020-21 season.
The seven feet tall center was most recently at Golden State Prep in California.
Jagshaanbir was part of the first-ever class selected to participate in the NBA Academy India.
When the program was launched in 2017, he was among 22 elite male prospects who were selected following a nationwide search of basketball talent in India called ACG-NBA Jump.
After receiving training from NBA Academy India, he came to the United States to play on the post-grad level at Golden State Prep.
"We are really excited to have Jagshaan as part of the Point Park University family," Pioneers head coach Joe Lewandowski said in a statement issued by NBA India.
"Jagshaan has great size and athleticism as well as a tremendous understanding of the game. He has been well-coached. We are excited about his potential."
