LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – Donovan Atwell visited Oakwood Baptist to play basketball with local children before he prepares for workouts ahead of the NBA Draft.
This is not the first time the former Texas Tech player has come out to play basketball with kids from the South Plains, but it might not happen again for a while as he prepares for the next steps of his career.
“It’s great,” Atwell said. “I feel like giving back to the community is something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s been great being able to do this.”
Atwell said he just got back from the Portsmouth Invitational, where the NBA invites 64 top seniors in college to play three games and do NBA interviews. He said the next destination is for his pre-draft workouts as he ramps up for the season.
