UPDATE: Klintman is now a Detroit Piston, after being selected with the 37th overall pick at the 2024 NBA Draft.

Bobi Klintman elected to withdraw from the 2023 NBA Draft - and came to the NBL to improve his game and increase his draft stock heading into 2024.

The Swede was labelled the modern NBA "prototype" by Cairns head coach Adam Forde, and the former Wake Forest wing has hit the ground running with a young, athletic and exciting Taipans side in NBL24.

Klintman was offered an insight into just what it takes to make it on the NBA stage through Cairns' NBLxNBA tour, and returned to Australia with a new outlook on the game - and a new intensity to get the best out of himself.

A 20-point first half in Round 11 no doubt caught the eye of NBA scouts, and he's now on his way to the NBA, drafted to the Detroit Pistons with pick 37.

"The Swedish forward stands at 6-foot-10 and has a fluidity that’s rare for that size. His role wasn't huge at Wake Forest, but he still makes an impact when he’s on the floor. He’s got legitimate two-way talent with a reliable jumper on the offensive end plus the length and tools to become a versatile defender on defence. On decent volume, he was a good shooter from beyond the arc at the college level."

Sports Illustrated

"Bobi is an exciting NBA prospect and it will be wonderful to watch him further develop under the tutelage of Adam Forde in Cairns … I expect his smooth game and warm personality will make Bobi something of a favourite among NBL fans."

Liam Santamaria
General Manager of Next Star Recruitment

"Bobi fits my current obsession for tall athletic wings who you can plug-and-play. He is the NBA prototype for today’s game, a 6-foot-10 hooper with a 7-foot wingspan that defends one-through-five. He can push the break, shoot the three and find effective ways to score on and off the ball."

Adam Forde
Cairns Taipans Head Coach
