The NBL, the top Australian league, has been growing fast in the last few years. Investors and stakeholders from the US have decided to invest in the league, and attention from abroad is increasing.

But for several players, leaving the NBL and trying their chances in Europe, especially at the EuroLeague level, remains a very intriguing challenge.

Australian guard Will Mcdowell-White, who has played for the New Zealand Breakers in the last three seasons, could be added to this list.

As ESPN's Olgun Uluc reported, the 26-year-old has already informed the NBL teams that he won't sign a new deal in Australia and will pursue a new challenge in Europe.

According to BasketNews sources, Mcdowell-White draws interest from several EuroLeague teams. Another source told BasketNews that one of the strongest suitors in the Australian guard is the German side ALBA Berlin.

Mcdowell-White played in Germany from 2017 to 2019 with Brose Bamberg, so if he finalizes a deal with ALBA, it would mean a return to the country for him.

In this season, the Australian guard averaged 9.4 points, 4.2 assists, and 3.2 rebounds per game in the NBL.

ALBA Berlin is always looking for players to develop, and McDowell-White could be an intriguing pick for the German side.

His combination of size, basketball IQ, and versatility has attracted the interest of several EuroLeague teams. In recent years, the Australian guard has also been on the radar of the NBA, as he had two different experiences in the G League.
