DELHI, Feb. 25, 2016 – The

ACG-NBA Jump, India’s first
national basketball talent search program. The 21-year old will now
attend the NBA Development League (NBA D-League) tryout in the United
States in the month of June. NBA champion Brian Shaw, who was at the camp for two days, was impressed with Palpreet’s work ethic and court skills.
“ACG-NBA
Jump has given basketball playing youth in India a pathway to
professional ranks. We are committed to growing the program in the
years to come,” said NBA India Managing Director Yannick Colaco. “While
Palpreet Singh has been selected for a national tryout in the NBA
D-League, the entire pool will be a part of Elite Talent Club and NBA
will monitor their progress on a regular basis.”
“Promotion
of sports and youth development has always been a part of ACG’s CSR
vision and the successful conclusion of this program is an important
milestone towards realization of this vision,” said ACG Director Karan
Singh. “The final pool of players represented the very goal of the
program that was to identify and hone the untapped talent pool of
basketball in India. We strongly believe that our partnership with NBA
to tap this potential and create a solid platform for the aspirants has
found the right beginning. We are as excited as the winner and hope that
Palpreet Singh makes a long lasting impression in United States for the
D-League National Tryout.”
“His
feel for the game and understanding, I could tell he grasps it,” said
Shaw. “Palpreet Singh, we all thought, was the guy who had the best
chance to succeed.”
Palpreet
Singh will continue to undergo training with NBA certified coaches in
India up until the tryout in June 2016. Sony SIX, the official
broadcaster of the program, will create a feature around ACG-NBA Jump,

Palpreet
was excited with this development. “I am thankful to ACG NBA Jump for
this. I will focus on becoming a stronger player now that I am going to
compete with some of the best in the world,” said Singh.

Rising Delhi and Bengaluru sides outclass experienced opponents
UBA Indian Pro Basketball League Season 2 Day 7: Rising Delhi and Bengaluru sides outclass experienced opponents
Pune, 24th February 2016: Day 7 of United Basketball Alliance (UBA) Pro Basketball League Season 2 action concluded today with young Delhi Capitals (3-0) and Bengaluru Beast (2-1) teams winning cross division games against Hyderabad Sky and Mumbai Challengers, both of which feature experienced players.
Hindi film actor Ameesha Patel and TV celebrity/stylist Imam Siddique were the special guests on the occasion. “I never thought I’d be dancing in a basketball stadium! But good luck to all the teams and thank you for having us here. It’s been a pleasure.” said Ms Patel, before attempting to make a basket from inside the freethrow line.
“I’d like to congratulate the entire team [of UBA] for putting together such a wonderful platform for emerging talent in India at the grassroots level. Sport is easily the finest form of art for me because I am from a sporting family- my father was a hockey player.” said Mr Siddique.
Delhi picked up from where they left off in the previous game. Right from tip-off, Delhi went all guns blazing. Relying on ball movement and a balanced scoring effort, the Capitals piled on the points in the first half. The first half saw the entire Delhi roster getting playing time and each one of them getting on the scoreboard. Hyderabad Sky managed to score only 16 points in the entire first half. Delhi held fort on the defensive end and played great defense on Sky’s best players. Sky did not manage to get any offensive rhythm going in the game, as their point guard Joginder found it difficult to create space for his jumpshot or create anything through penetration. Sky’s Indo-Australian guard Mahesh Padmanabhan top scored again for his team with 14 points, but it was just not enough against the dominant Capitals side.
On the defensive end, Hyderabad Sky posed little resistance to Delhi’s players. With the coaches going entirely to their bench, Delhi kept switching five players at a time in the game. Ajay Singh was the top scorer for his team off the bench with 13 points, including three 3-pointers, and was awarded the player of the match. Vinay Kaushik got to double digits again for the Capitals with 10 points. Delhi has now won all their 3 games so far, while Hyderabad is yet to register a victory in the tournament.
Delhi Capitals (Ajay Singh 13, Vinay Kaushik 10, Arshdeep Singh 10) bt Hyderabad Sky(Mahesh Padmanabhan 14, Joginder Singh 9) 93-64 (20-8, 26-8, 21-22, 26-26)
The contrasting styles of the two teams were clear from the start. The Challengers are a slower team that prefers the half-court style of play, while Beast is filled with young legs who can run all game. Beast also got back the services of their first-choice point guard Raghuram today against the Challengers. The break from UBA action seemed to have helped him, as he was on fire right out of the gates. His efficiency was through the roof, connecting on almost all his shots in the first quarter. For the Challengers, it was centre Gagandeep with the buckets, using his body and size in the paint. But Bengaluru’s fast paced style of play was too much to handle for the Challengers as they conceded a 13-point lead to the Beast in the first quarter.
Bengaluru used the same script throughout the game, pushing the tempo at every opportunity they got. The Beast coaches used almost their entire roster, going 11-deep in the contest. With the coaches ensuring that there were fresh legs on the floor at all times, the Beast youngsters were given the green light to run and gun. Challengers’ transition defense could not match the speed of Bengaluru’s offense. Beast players were getting their shots off even before the Mumbai defense could settle.
At the fulcrum of the Beast team was Raghuram, who was scorching today from the inside and outside. Whether it was crafty drives to the rim, knocking down open jumpers or creating for his teammates, Raghuram showcased everything today to lead his side in scoring with 28 points. His teammate big man Manpreet (18 points) was consistent again with his shooting, knocking down his mid-range jumpers throughout the game. Bengaluru’s deep rotation ensured balanced contribution from multiple players. Beast forward Hrishikesh Naidu (12 points) was an offensive spark off the bench, even knocking down an unexpected 3-pointer and getting an offensive putback.
For the Challengers, forward Jagdeep Bains had an off day, managing only 5 points in the game. Poor rotation from the Challengers hurt them and their fatigue led to sloppy turnovers. Bengaluru played tenacious defense with their active hands pestering the Challengers and helping their team convert defense to easy transition buckets. Beast guard Visu Palani was the recipient of a few of those easy buckets, as he finished with 15 points on 7 of 8 shooting.
Bengaluru had a 20-plus point lead at one stage of the game. However, late in the fourth, the Challengers fought hard to come back into the game, even cutting the lead down to 8 points with under five minutes left. But a late 3-pointer by Raghuram sealed the deal for the Beast, who have now won three games in a row and are one of the hottest teams in the league right now. Raghuram was deservedly awarded the man of the match and a cash prize of INR 25,000.
Bengaluru Beast (Raghuram 28, Manpreet 20, Visu Palani 15) bt Mumbai Challengers(Gagandeep Singh 31, Nikhil 11, Karan Pal Singh 10) 99-84 (25-12, 23-23, 23-18, 28-31)

Delhi Capitals bt Hyderabad Sky

While the Capitals are high on confidence, entering the game unbeaten, the Hyderabad Sky are still searching for their first win in Season 2.Delhi picked up from where they left off in the previous game.
