Among the standout players is 17-year-old Khaman Maluach, a promising NBA Draft prospect who stands at 7 feet 2 inches tall and transitioned from a refugee background in Uganda to representing South Sudan. Royal Ivey, a former Oklahoma City Thunder coach, is leading the South Sudan team and has embraced the opportunity to contribute to their journey.
