Isaac Humphries has found a new basketball home at home.
Humphries has signed a pro contract with the Sydney Kings in his home country of Australia.
This from Fox Sports Australia:
The deal is for one year, and will see the 19-year-old bolster the Kings’ Australian-centric core, joining the likes of Kevin Lisch and Brad Newley as key members of the team.
Humphries received offers from teams in the Adriatic League, Italy’s Serie A, Germany’s BBL, and the Greek Basket League, among others, but ultimately decided on the Kings; an organisation that had been openly recruiting him for the better part of seven months.
“Isaac was presented with a number of options over the last few months,” Humphries’ agent, Daniel Moldovan, told foxsports.com.au. “From the (NBA) G League, to Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, and Serbia, but after evaluating all options, the situation in Sydney ticked all the boxes.
“The opportunity to play alongside three Boomers in Brad Newley, Kevin Lisch, and Jason Cadee, as well as be coached by Andrew Gaze seemed like the perfect first stop for him.
“He has very lofty goals. He is only 19 years of age but is already so skilled. Every NBL team has a high level 7-footer on its team so it’s going to be a great challenge every night and I’m sure many NBA clubs are going to be following him very closely.”
