First a couple of articles in a newspaper, and later a documentary on tv about the life of a player in college hoping to get drafted. But it was about Jesse Edwards. At the end of the documentary we heared about another Dutch player who might get drafted: Quinten Post. That was the first time I heard of him.
What was his Euro experience before college, if you know?
Youth league in the Netherlands I guess. He was in the same team as Edwards (Jesse) in Amsterdam. With another guy who played in college last year.
Basketball is a small sport in our country. Most kids start playing football (soccer). If they change to another sport like basketball then most of the time when they are 12 y or older.
Only if they grow a lot they have a chance to play in college.
