Ryan Turell: 'Being the first Orthodox Jew to play in the NBA would be a dream come true'
It’s not very often that a draft prospect has the chance to be a pioneer in the NBA.
After averaging 27.1 points per game in NCAA III with Yeshiva University, Ryan Turell could become one by becoming the first Orthodox Jewish player to make the league. A prolific shooter with 47.1 percent of makes from beyond the arc in his senior year, he has already locked up an invite for the upcoming G League Elite Camp.
The 23-year-old forward recently discussed with HoopsHype his preparation for the draft and his dream of becoming a trailblazer for other Jewish kids.
