贝勒大学男子篮球队在中赛季将21岁的内线詹姆斯·纳吉加入阵容,后者在2023年NBA选秀中以第31顺位被选中。这位尼日利亚大个子从未签署NBA合同,因此立即有资格参赛。这一历史性举措填补了9胜2负的熊队在NCAA资格规则不断演变下的关键空缺。

贝勒大学于2025年12月24日宣布,已签下来自尼日利亚马库尔迪的7英尺中锋詹姆斯·纳吉,后者在2023年NBA选秀中被底特律活塞队选中。其权益随后被交易至夏洛特黄蜂队,并于2024年9月作为卡尔-安东尼·唐斯交易的一部分转至纽约尼克斯队。纳吉身高7英尺、体重251磅、臂展7英尺7寸,过去三个赛季主要在欧洲职业联赛效力,主要在欧冠联赛的巴塞罗那俱乐部,并曾租借至西班牙和土耳其球队。他在2024-25赛季后与巴塞罗那分道扬镳,并在2025年NBA夏季联赛为尼克斯队出战五场,场均12.9分钟贡献3.2分和3.6个篮板。

由于纳吉从未签署标准NBA合同,他保留了四年的NCAA资格,并可立即为贝勒队效力。主教练斯科特·德鲁赞扬了这一补充:“詹姆斯是一位非常有天赋的年轻球员,潜力巨大,我们很高兴欢迎他加入贝勒家族。任何在中赛季加入阵容的球员,都需要一个过程来适应并跟上节奏,但我们知道詹姆斯会尽一切努力实现无缝过渡。”

此次签约解决了前场需求,此前2025年大南区年度最佳防守球员贾斯林·博多·博多遭遇赛季报销的手臂伤病。目前9胜2负的贝勒队轮换阵容缺乏身高,没有高于6英尺9英寸的球员获得重要上场时间。纳吉预计很快亮相,可能最早在熊队12月29日对阵阿灵顿浸信会的比赛中登场。

这一举措标志着一个里程碑,因为纳吉将成为首位在被选秀多年后重返大学篮球的前NBA选秀球员。这突显了NCAA规则的变化,允许拥有职业经验的球员(包括G联赛经历)回归大学级别。像密歇根州立大学的汤姆·伊佐这样的教练批评这些变化,伊佐称其“荒谬”和“尴尬”。贝勒的德鲁也表达了不满,但抓住了机会。NCAA发言人表示:“每个资格案例都会根据呈现的事实单独评估和决定”,强调规则仍在面临法律挑战。

人们在说什么

X平台上对贝勒签下2023年NBA选秀球员詹姆斯·纳吉的反应显示出对NCAA授予其立即资格和四年资格的广泛震惊。贝勒球迷视其为受伤情况下前场巨大提升。批评者谴责这有害于大学篮球,允许选秀职业球员取代业余球员。中立帖突出这一举措的历史性。
