So why was Vincent overlooked the past two years, going undrafted out of UC-Santa Barbara and not landing with an NBA team in summer league or preseason in 2019? “People didn’t know,” Neff said, while noting a torn ACL his junior year of college hurt his stock coming out. “Even though he had a good World Cup [for Nigeria last summer], people didn’t pay attention. “There are very few organizations scouting like the Heat are. If you have your mind only on your players, you don’t see others. Adam sees his own players but isn’t overlooking others.

In recent years, a growing number of American NBA prospects spurned playing NCAA basketball to compete overseas. Foucher says prospects should approach this opportunity hesitantly. “By playing overseas, it removes you from the NBA, because NBA teams aren’t overseas,” he said. “College coaches are preparing guys to be NBA players.
