A FEW NOTABLE SUCCESS STORIES
When Evans left Cincinnati, everyone questioned his decision to enter the draft. By his work and ability to adapt to the NBA game, he was selected in the 1st Round by then World Champions, Golden State.
- Jacob Evans
Selected with the last pick in the draft, Thomas has gone on to have a tremendous NBA career. His work at Impact with some of the other highly regarded guards in the draft gave him the confidence and exposure necessary to succeed at the next level.
- Isaiah Thomas
Unheralded during his stellar career at Norfolk State, Kyle spent his summers at Impact training and improving his game against veteran NBA players. After a vast improvement over multiple summers of training, Kyle’s college career culminated with a historical victory in the NCAA Tournament as a 15-seed. He then raised his level even further during the Impact Pre-Draft program and people took notice; he was selected 49th in the 2012 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic.
- Kyle O’Quinn
After spending a month at Impact the year prior as an 18 year old with potential, Porzingis worked out at Impact and did his pro day in June after a successful European season before the draft. With over 200 NBA scouts in attendance he earned his way to the #4 pick and just signed a max-contract with the Dallas Mavericks.
- Kristaps Porzingis
Brown had a solid but relatively average season at Oregon as a highly regarded incoming freshman and came to Impact to prepare for the draft in late March of 2018. As an 18 year-old with huge potential, Brown regained his form and confidence that made him one of the top high school players in the country in 2017. He was selected #15 overall and is now a regular starter with the Washington Wizards at only 20 years old.
- Troy Brown Jr
After a solid career at Illinois and Oakland University, Nunn arrived at Impact with his incredible work ethic and dedication to make to the NBA. After going undrafted, Kendrick took the momentum he built at Impact and powered his way to the starting guard spot for the Miami Heat, and a strong case for Rookie of the Year in the NBA.
- Kendrick Nunn
Relatively unknown from Ole Miss in the eyes of many NBA scouts, Davis spent 10 weeks at Impact preparing for the draft process, cleaning up his body and skills game. After being selected as an alternate to the G-League Camp in Chicago, his play earned him a spot in the NBA Combine. 6 months later, Davis was in the rotation for the World Champion Toronto Raptors.
