2018 NBL Next Gen Camp | SMARTSPEED in Action

Last month the National Basketball League (NBL) held their first NBL Next Gen Camp in Melbourne. The event featured 80 of the top Australian and International young basketball prospects undergoing athletic and anthropomorphic testing. The athletic tests completed at the camp are aimed to mirror similar events at the NBA Combine. The Fusion Sport SMARTSPEED system was used to accurately time and track the ¾ Court Sprint and Pro Lane Drill events at the camp. There were some impressive results from the camp, here are the top five times from each event:

Talent identification and combine events are crucial when it comes to developing emerging pro-athletes. Our SMARTSPEED system has been used at various combine events around the world to accurately test and provide real-time feedback for emerging pro-athletes.

The SMARTSPEED timing gate system was also used at this year’s 2018 NBA Draft Combine: Read the full article here.
