Five-star recruit Terrance Ferguson: Why I’m Going Pro in Australia

Posted Jun 30, 2016
Terrance Ferguson: "It didn’t matter that I was nine, or that I didn’t know how I was going to do it; all that mattered was that, someday, I’d make sure my mom would never have to work again. Now, she won’t have to, because I’m going to play for the Adelaide 36ers of the National Basketball League in Australia. You probably know that that wasn’t the original plan." (The Players' Tribune)
