NBA draft prospects Caleb Love, Adama Bal and Jaelen House, who all have ties to Arizona, competed in the NBA’s G League Elite Camp on Saturday in Chicago.
Love out of Arizona faced off against ex-Wildcat Bal and former Arizona State Sun Devil Jaelen House in a scrimmage to showcase their skills in front of NBA and NBA G League scouts, coaches and front-office executives.
Bal transferred from Arizona to Santa Clara in 2023, and House transferred from Arizona State to New Mexico in 2021. House also attended Shadow Mountain High School in Phoenix.
Love contributed nine points, four assists and three rebounds off the bench for his team. The 2023-24 Pac-12 Player of the Year also threw down one of the biggest dunks of the day on a clean fast break.
