Ater James Majok (pronounced ''Ah-TARE Mah-jook''; born 4 July 1987) is an Australian professional basketball player who currently plays for Trefl Sopot of the Polish Basketball League. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2011 NBA draft with the 58th overall pick. ==High school and college career== Majok was born in Sudan (now South Sudan) in 1987. He migrated to Sydney through a refugee camp in Egypt. Upon arrival in Sydney, he bonded with a group of young men also from Sudan, called the South Stars basketball team. He attended high school at St Aloysius' College and Parramatta Marist High School in Sydney, and the American International School in Carlingford where he graduated in 2008. After graduating, he committed to the University of Connecticut. He sat out during the 2008–09 season because he was not cleared to play by the NCAA. In January 2009, Majok joined the UConn roster and was eligible to practice with the squad for the remainder of the season, but was not able to play in games.〔(At UConn, Wait Is Over for a Warrior From Africa )〕 In April 2009, he declared for the 2009 NBA draft but did not sign with an agent. About a week before the draft, he decided to withdraw his name and returned to UConn. On 20 December 2009, Majok made his debut with the Huskies. He scored one point and collected three rebounds in 16 minutes of action as a starter.〔(Ater Majok Non-Factor in Long Awaited UConn Debut )〕 In September 2010, Majok announced that he was leaving Connecticut, though the reasons as to why remain unclear. In 2009–10, he played in 26 games for the Huskies, averaging 2.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ater Majok Stats )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ater Majok」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
