Hyunjung Lee knows why he's in Chicago this week - to try convince a team to help him make history.
Lee is taking part in the G League Elite camp in Chicago this week as part of the NBA draft's talent evaluation process as he looks to become only the second Korean ever drafted into the league.
The 18-year-old Davidson guard has impressed in Chicago through workouts and scrimmages as he pushes his case as a viable NBA prospect.
Ha Seung-Jin is the only Korean to have made it to the NBA so far having played 46 games for the Portland Trail Blazers after being drafted in the second round in 2004.
