Former Pitt Guard to Compete in NBA G League Elite Camp
Former Pitt guard Jaland Lowe is still working towards his ultimate goal of playing professional basketball.
Lowe, now committed to play for Kentucky next season, was recently included in the list of 45 prospects and draft hopefuls that will compete in the upcoming NBA G League Elite Camp.
Lowe, a third-team All-ACC member, played two seasons at Pitt. This year, he averaged 16.8 points, 5.5 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game for Pitt. Lowe is a Missouri City, Texas native who stands at 6-foot-3. The former top-100 recruit started 19 games as a rookie, averaging 26.5 minutes per game and scoring 9.6 points per game. Then, in a bigger role as a sophomore, Lowe played 35.5 minutes per game and averaged 16.8 points per contest.
He entered the transfer portal after two seasons at Pitt, and eventually committed to Kentucky.
The NBA states that players from this camp may receive invitations to the NBA Combine, the more prestigious of the two events, based on their performance at the G League Elite Camp.
“A select number of players from the draft-eligible group will be invited to participate in the 2025 NBA Draft Combine later in the week based on their performance in the NBA G League Elite Camp,” said the press release by the NBA.
NBA players appearing in past NBA G League Elite Camp include Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard, New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado, Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin, Atlanta Hawks guard Terance Mann, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Max Strus, Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr., and three-time AT&T Slam Dunk champion and 2023-24 Kia NBA G League MVP Mac McClung.
