Nick Washburn

Near Champaign Illinois there’s a small town of less than 10,000 called Mahomet.  Growing up in Small Town USA, Nick Washburn played multiple sports, basketball, hockey and American Football.  However,  after many hours spent in the driveway with his dad and after growing into a 6 foot 10 inch frame, Nick decided basketball was his passion.  He  accepted a full ride scholarship to a small, private school in Michigan.  He started all four years as a Charger and signed his first professional contract seven years ago to play in Spain.  That being said, Nick’s had to overcome several obstacles along the way, from not making the 9th grade A team to recovering from Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and having to learn how to walk again.  Joining us from Oviedo, Spain, here he is.
