Former WNBA player Ebony Hoffman will coach the top players from the Asia-Pacific region. The Nets’ Brielmaier is one of four NBA assistants who will serve as BWB Asia 2018 coaches.
The top 66 boys and girls prospects from 16 countries and territories in Asia will participate. That group includes two NBA Academies prospects. The NBA Academy I. Delhi, India opened one year ago.
