Nnaji declared for the 2020 NBA Draft, and has been training in Las Vegas under the watch of legendary trainer Joe Abunassar.
While also learning under legendary Hopkins coach Ken Novak Jr, Nnaji played for Howard Pulley and D1 MN in AAU. With D1 MN, his point guard was former DeLaSalle HS star Tyrell Terry, who also is expected to be taken within the first 35 picks. He left Stanford early.
