USA Select Basketball was formed to assist American basketball players find professional opportunities internationally. The origins of USA Select Basketball trace back to the 1980s where Appalachian State University teammates; Sean Kilmartin and David Lawrence played professionally in Europe. Acknowledging then, the fantastic opportunity afforded them, they decided to create this type of opportunity for other athletes. With the assistance of Nicholas Melissaris and Mike Palladino, retired international basketball players, the team creates unique opportunities for elite basketball players. USA Select Basketball is composed of athletes that have completed their college / NCAA eligibility and are looking for professional contracts internationally. Through a series of "tryout" camps, we carefully evaluate players from all backgrounds. We take them on tour to play some of the top teams in Europe in a series of exhibition games in hopes to create contract opportunities. In the past, these tours have proven to be highly successful and have allowed may players to get their first professional basketball contracts! These players have come from varied programs such as perennial power Duke University, UConn and Wake Forest, top programs like Georgia, NC State, Xavier, Clemson, University of Tennessee and Temple University to Mid majors like Appalachian State University, Davidson College, James Madison University, Winston-Salem State University and NC Central University. Smaller programs such as Belmont Abbey College, Virginia Union, NC Weslyan to Junior Colleges and basketball players that have not had the opportunity to play college at the level. To see all that we have done see our All Time Roster. |
