Former WKU star Charles Bassey invited to 2021 NBA Draft combine
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – One of the finest players to ever don a Western Kentucky uniform is getting his chance to compete on the next level.
Former WKU Hilltoppers star Charles Bassey has officially been invited to the 2021 NBA Draft combine, according to a report from Shams Charania of The Athletic.
The 6-11 center is one of just 69 participants to compete in the week-long event, which will begin next Monday, June 21st and last through Sunday, June 27th.
Bassey’s invitation is no surprise, as Western Kentucky’s anchor down low pieced together a phenomenal junior year campaign in which he averaged 17.6 points, 11.6 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game for the 21-8 Hilltoppers.
