Dimaz è stato il primo player scelto nell’NBA 2k League Draft 2018: ecco tutte le scelte effettuate dalle squadre e la composizione dei roster
Il Draft inaugurale della NBA 2K League si è tenuto ieri all’Hulu Theater, presso il Madison Square Garden. Ognuna delle 17 squadre ha selezionato sei giocatori da una lista di 102 gamer. I draftati diventano quindi i primi professionisti del campionato di gaming della Lega, la cui stagione inaugurale scatterà a maggio. I Mavs Gaming, con la storica prima scelta assoluta dell’NBA 2K League Draft 2018, hanno selezionato il playmaker Artreyo Boyd (conosciuto come Dimez), originario dell’Ohio, come annunciato dall’NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. I Celtics Crossover Gaming, con la seconda scelta, hanno selezionato il play Albano Thomallari (oFAB) del Missouri. La terza scelta è ricaduta ancora su un playmaker, con i Jazz Gaming che si sono assicurati le prestazioni di Shaka Browne (Yeah I Compete), originario dello stato di New York. I team hanno scelto un giocatore per ogni posizione (playmaker, guardia, ala piccola, ala grande, centro) nei primi cinque round. Nel sesto round, invece, è stato selezionato un altro giocatore nella posizione da loro preferita.
