AUSTRALIAN basketball wonder Dante Exum, 19, has decided to declare for this year's NBA draft in the US.
His family made the announcement in a statement, saying they had signed with talent agent Rob Pelinka and Brandon Rosenthal of Landmark Sports Agency. Pelinka's clients include Kobe Bryant and Andre Drummond.
"We are excited to be working with Landmark Sports," Cecil, Desiree and Dante Exum said in a statement to ESPN. "Our family felt The Landmark Team represented our style and manner of treating people, and in doing businesses. We also all shared a common commitment to achieving excellence in all things. The fit is just great and we are really pleased to now begin the work."
Exum and his family met with eight different agents in Melbourne during the past month.
"We are thrilled and honoured to be working with Dante and his family," Pelinka said in a statement. "As the NBA continues to expand its brand around the world, we feel like Dante's international story comes at a perfect time. We also believe that, with continued hard work and focus, Dante is destined to be a 'franchise' point guard in this next generation of great NBA players."
Exum is considered to be a top-five draft pick. He is currently ranked No. 4 in ESPN's Top 100 and ranked as the No. 1 point guard.
Last week Exum led his team, Lake Ginninderra in Canberra, to the national schools basketball title.
His speed is his main gift but his jump shot is a work in progress.
The announcement came as 17-year-old Melbourne teenager, Brandon Stenhouse, announced he had signed a six-figure deal with the New York Yankees baseball side as a pitcher.
