Gabriel is part of the South Sudan roster that nearly took down Team USA in a scrimmage game earlier this week.
“A lot of people around the world don’t know what South Sudan was, but today we were able to represent our country with pride, put up a good fight, and show them the potential of our country,” Gabriel said. “It was a proud moment for a lot of people. Obviously, we wanted to win, we played really well and I’m really proud of my teammates, the heart we showed, the dedication, and trying to put respect on our name, and to get our country respected.”
Gabriel averaged 5.7 points and 5.1 rebounds in two seasons with the Wildcats and has played 150 NBA games over the past five seasons, bouncing around to seven different teams including five games with Memphis last year.
