Aday Mara, New Prominent Player of OKC: "Every year, the Spaniards are rising more"

Aday Mara was chosen in the 12th position of the 2026 NBA Draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder. After his successful time at Michigan, he now has the opportunity to represent Spanish basketball in the best league in the world. This is how happy he was about it:

"I'm super happy to be able to represent Spain here now in the United States and in the NBA. Also very happy because since I was in Michigan winning the championship and we had all the success last year, I have received many messages and a lot of support, so I think this is another step forward. Every year, Spanish players in the league are increasing. Just like I had when I was young watching all the Spanish players in the NBA winning championships and competing at a high level with the national team. I think it's very good for Spanish basketball that we are now coming out and that we can be that player that a young child can look up to or follow, and thus surely there will be many more Spanish players playing in the NBA or in big leagues."
