Toohey moves further up ESPN's NBA Draft board

After earlier being ranked as the 83rd top prospect for the 2024 NBA Draft by ESPN's Jonathan Givony, Sydney Kings' Alex Toohey has moved even higher on the back of his strong recent play.

In Givony's latest big board release this week, the Hoops Capital youngster came in at number 48 - which is entrenched in the second round.

That is also good enough for third-highest among all NBL24 Next Stars, behind only Perth's Alex Sarr (number one) and Cairns' Bobi Klintman (21).

Other to also receive recognition by ESPN were Melbourne's Ariel Hukporti (53), Mantas Rubstavicius (55), Illawarra's AJ Johnson (59) and Adelaide's Trenton Flowers (62) - highlights the strength of this Next Stars class.

Toohey and his harbour city side host Hukporti's United at Qudos Bank Arena on Thursday - with tickets still available here.
