For a lot of Jr. NBA campers, heartbreak came on a Sunday with only 10 ballers making it through to the next level of the program among the 80 participants in the National Training Camp. But Jr. NBA mentor and WNBA great Ticha Penicheiro wants this setback to only push the kids harder. Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Collin Sexton also shared the same sentiments, telling the kids that it isn't the end of the road. "This Jr. NBA, you have a lot more basketball to play, this is just one stop," he added. Penicheiro and Sexton served as mentors during the Jr. NBA National Training Camp and helped chose the 2019 Jr. NBA All-Stars that will advance to the Jr. NBA Global Championship Asia Pacific Selection Camp in June.
