Luanda: Angolan international Selton Miguel has signed a contract with Wasserman Basketball, one of the most prestigious player agencies in the US and the second-best in the world, according to Forbes magazine. The announcement was made by Italian journalist Guido Guida, editor of Spicchi d'Arancia Basketball, who emphasized the significance of this transition for the future of the player, who graduated from 1º de Agosto in Angola.
According to Angola Press News Agency, the contract came after the National Team's recent victory in "Afrobasket 2025," where Miguel contributed 10.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. The basketball player aims to play in the NBA, following in the footsteps of his compatriot Bruno Fernando, who currently plays for Spanish side Real Madrid and won the championship last season. Wasserman Basketball represents some of the biggest names in world basketball, including Alex Caruso and Lu Dort, both of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The agency also represents Diana Taurasi from the United States, Brook Lopez of the Los Angeles Clippers, and Steven Adams from the Houston Rockets, reinforcing its status as one of the most influential agencies in the sport. After not being selected among the 59 players in this year's draft on June 27th, Miguel participated in the 2024-25 NBA Summer League with the Utah Jazz in the United States.
Selton Miguel, 24, has played for the Portuguese club Sport Lisboa e Benfica (2014-2016), the South Florida Bulls (2023-24), and the Maryland Terrapins (2025) in the United States. Wasserman represents basketball players, negotiates contracts, and is involved in event planning and marketing services for the sport, having collaborated with the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) and NBA teams. The company acts as an agency representing basketball athletes, including player contracts and sponsorships, helping them manage their careers.
