Star Bullet attracting NBA interest

Josh Bannan's impressive debut campaign with the Brisbane Bullets could have him in line to land a dream NBA roster spot.

According to ESPN's Olgun Uluc, the 23-year-old has worked out for "around 10 NBA teams" ahead of this week's NBA Draft, which gets underway on Thursday, Australian time. 

Uluc reported Bannan had spent time with the Phoenix Suns, Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors. 

In his first professional season, Bannan averaged 11.9 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, across 19 appearances.

Previous to that, he spent three seasons with the Montana Grizzlies in the NCAA.

The NBA Draft's first round will be live on ESPN via Kayo from 9.30am AEST on Thursday, with the second round getting underway at 6am on Friday.
