The Brooklyn Nets found a steal two years ago in the NBA Draft with Jarrett Allen, now the former Texas basketball standing is reaching new heights.

The Team USA select basketball team is a global power and could soon be including a former member of the Texas Longhorns basketball program. Brooklyn Nets potential rising star center, and former Texas first round NBA Draft pick, Jarrett Allen recently received an invite to join to the Team USA Select Basketball team for the summer.

Allen played well with a rising Nets team in the Eastern Conference standings last season. He’s also one of a number of standout bigs that are also former Longhorns in the NBA now. Allen now gets to continue his rise to prominence in the NBA by playing with the best this country has to offer.

Chris Haynes from Yahoo Sports originally reported on Twitter that Allen was invited to participate with the USA Select team in Las Vegas, NV, this summer. Allen would be linking up with another former Texas big man, Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner, in Las Vegas with the USA team.

A June 10 press release from USA Basketball detailed that two other former Longhorns would be present from Aug. 5-9 in Vegas, but that did not include Allen. He was later added to the list of players that were invited to the USA Select Basketball Team for the summer.

If not for the Achilles rupture that Kevin Durant underwent in the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors, then he likely would be part of the mix present in Vegas. But the two other former Longhorns in Vegas are the aforementioned Turner and Houston Rockets wing PJ Tucker.

Although Allen is more of a traditional big man, he does have excellent length and athleticism down low. NBA fans know at this point how much of a steal the Nets got in the mid-teens in the first round of the 2017 NBA Draft by landing Allen.

Texas can keep growing its prestige in the NBA by having so many talented former players starring in the USA Basketball Training Camp starting this coming August. Turner and Allen are just two examples of the excellent pipeline of big men this program pushed through lately.
