The WBA is a stepping stone for you aspiring pro players! In 2004 and 2005, numerous players moved on to professional playing jobs overseas, as well as, in the CBA and NBDL - even the NBA - as former WBA players David Young was drafted by Seattle and Kyle Davis was signed as a free agent by the New Jersey Nets. Currently, Josh Powell is playing with the Dallas Mavericks and Damien Wilkins with the Seattle Sonics.
Make your dream a reality with the WBA League Tryouts!
