Onetime NBA draft pick James Nnaji of Baylor gets frequent boos in college debut at TCU
Onetime NBA draft pick James Nnaji drew plenty of boos in his college debut with Baylor at TCU. The 7-foot center from Nigeria finished with five points and four rebounds in the Bears’ 69-63 loss to the Horned Frogs. TCU fans jeered Nnaji every time he touched the ball. The 21-year-old didn’t return after picking up his fourth foul late in the game. Nnaji was drafted by Detroit in 2023. His draft rights have since been traded to Charlotte and New York. He played professionally in Europe but never signed an NBA contract.
