NBA Development Tryout

Just looking for some input on this opportunity.

Didn't know if anyone on this forum has attended or have heard of anyone attending and their experience of it. Just by reading the initial email you have to apply and from there are selected based off whatever criteria they use.

Is this one of those things that if you are selected to attend and you don't get any other opportunity other than this initial experience are you guaranteed to not be selected again or is this something you could put 2 or 3 years into attending?

Any advice would be beneficial. Thanks!

An official that I mentored, got picked-up from his first tryout. Just like NCAA, it's not uncommon to be invited a second time. More exposure to the decision-makers is usually a good thing, as long as they perceive improvement, and recognize some degree of passion for the opportunity. Persistence counts.
