Biography
UPDATE: Klintman is now a Detroit Piston, after being selected with the 37th overall pick at the 2024 NBA Draft.
Bobi Klintman elected to withdraw from the 2023 NBA Draft - and came to the NBL to improve his game and increase his draft stock heading into 2024.
The Swede was labelled the modern NBA "prototype" by Cairns head coach Adam Forde, and the former Wake Forest wing has hit the ground running with a young, athletic and exciting Taipans side in NBL24.
Klintman was offered an insight into just what it takes to make it on the NBA stage through Cairns' NBLxNBA tour, and returned to Australia with a new outlook on the game - and a new intensity to get the best out of himself.
A 20-point first half in Round 11 no doubt caught the eye of NBA scouts, and he's now on his way to the NBA, drafted to the Detroit Pistons with pick 37.
