As a former player, Pete Mickeal knows very well the value of getting time on the court in a competitive environment that can help you make the next step in your career. That’s why he made a decision as an agent which can help his clients showcase their talent.
Mickeal Sports Group, headed by Pete Mickeal and Ernie Cambo, has purchased Belgian club Liege of the BNXT League. One of the deciding factors to make this move was the ability to sign six American players to the roster each season
Mickeal Sports Group has now positioned itself as the only US agency to have its own team in Europe and also have its own NXT Combine, held between the 10th and 13th of May, a pre-draft combine with all 30 NBA teams present.
It’s an interesting move that puts the Mickael Sports Group in a unique situation and also can help the BNXT League experiment, a competition that combines clubs from Belgium and the Netherlands, which was founded two years ago and tries to emerge as one of the top leagues in Europe.
