Nebraska's Jaz Shelley is participating in the second annual SALA Series at the NBA Summer League this week in Las Vegas.
The SALA Series helps aspiring young leaders connect with NBA and professional executives in interactive seminars while building relationships to position themselves for future careers in professional sports and beyond.
Last summer, Shelley participated in the inaugural NBA Student-Athlete Summit (July 12-15) in Las Vegas. She spent a week participating in panel discussions, networking sessions and behind-the-scenes tours of the NBA Summer League. The Summit was created as a branch of the NBA's SALA platform - an events and media company that brings together a diverse group of accomplished leaders from across a wide variety of industries.
Shelley, a senior point guard from Moe, Australia, was a first-team All-Big Ten selection in 2023, after claiming second-team All-Big Ten honors and a spot on the Big Ten All-Defensive Team in 2022. Last season, she averaged team bests of 14.5 points, 6.2 assists and 1.7 steals per game while adding 4.8 rebounds.
