According to the its website, BeoBasket has the "biggest number of NBA players" among European agencies. 

Included in their roster of players are NBA's Nikola Jokic, Boban Marjanovic, and Dario Saric, among others.

Slaughter has not disclosed his future plans after announcing his decision to take a break from the PBA in February following the expiration of his contract with Ginebra.

Gin Kings head Tim Cone, however, said they heard from a third-party that Slaughter is going to make a tryout with the NBA G League.

"Wherever my journey takes me, I will always proudly represent the Philippines, especially our National Team," the former Ginebra big man said.

Slaughter said BeoBasket had the most number of players in the 2019 World Cup and he is looking forward to join their ranks in 2023. —Justin Kenneth Carandang/MGP, GMA News
