Perth Wildcats star Luke Travers’ NBA dream has come true with the 20-year-old from Rockingham selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers at pick 56 in Friday’s draft.
Travers went from an outsider among NBA circles to being chosen by a team after an impressive season with the Wildcats.
He had already shown maturity beyond his years by being thrown into the starting five while still a Development Player in 2021. But he rose to another level last season, playing in multiple positions, improving his three-point shooting, showing off his athleticism at the rim and also impressing as a point-guard.
Travers moved to the United States at the end of the NBL season and spent seven weeks touring the country to meet teams. He trained in front of eight teams and was also invited to the G-League Elite Camp.
p.s. I also loved him as Billy in season 2 of Stranger things-- Really added some menace.
