History was made for Portugal: Neemias Queta chosen by the Sacramento Kings in the NBA – NBA draft

History was made in national sport! The Portuguese Neemias Queta was chosen by the Sacramento Kings in the NBA draft, in position 39. He is the first national basketball player to be chosen by a team from the main basketball league in the world!

This is a position above what was pointed out in the various predictions in the mock drafts, giving even more strength to the hypothesis that Nehemiah will, in fact, enter the league. Only the players chosen in the first round of the draft (30 first) have a contract and guaranteed salary. Still, Nehemiah seems at this stage well launched, even for the excellent impression he had already left with the Kings in workouts done in the past.
