Africa has a great future in the basketball. They really lack of structure but they have a lot of youth, size and athleticism.

AFAIK, Dallas is the nba team with biggest links in Africa. They have even opened a basketball school in Senegal. Saer Sene (lottery pick drafted by Seattle) went to that school.

For the moment, it's not really interesting for a nba to scout Africa. When there i sa promising young African player, he goes in Europe or in NCAA. Scouting European leagues and college is enough for NBA teams.
