Australian point guard Patrick Mills says he is yet to be approached by NBA clubs despite an impressive performances at the Beijing Olympics.
Mills was the Boomers' highest pointscorer in Beijing, and finished in the top 10 in the tournament for the most steals.
His skills attracted praise from American commentators who said he had the talent to play in the world's premier basketball competition, the NBA.
But the 20-year-old starlet says playing college basketball in the United States limits his opportunities for now.
"Me being at college kind of limits the contact you're allowed to have with NBA scouts, agents, managers that sort of thing so not yet," he said.
Mills is concentrating on his college studies, but says he would love to play in the NBA for one club in particular.
"Any team in the NBA would be great but I would probably go with the Chicago Bulls," he said.
