Select XXIV is a four-day professional basketball showcase staged in Melbourne, Australia across late November 2026. The week replicates a professional evaluation setting, not a traditional exposure camp. You train inside team structures, take part in Pro Day testing and live evaluations, then compete in three exhibition fixtures against an NBL1 team, a Big V team and an NBL Select team, before the week closes with the Select XXIV Showcase Game. Coaches, agents and recruiters operating across the Australian basketball ecosystem evaluate every player in person.
Australia runs one of the most accessible professional markets in the world for international players. Across NBL1, Big V, NBL1 East, and NBL1 North, there are 120+ import roster spots available each season, with clubs recruiting internationally every year. Teams regularly turn over between 2 and 5 imports per roster, which means openings across all positions come around consistently. A season here builds professional game film, puts you in a defined role inside a stable club environment, and creates a direct path into Europe, Asia, or the G League. We run Select XXIV inside that recruitment window.
