Over the years I have read endless posts by people making claims about the NFL and NBA because very few whites play in those 2 leagues. Never mind that the same people making this complaint ignore baseball, hockey, tennis, NASCAR, or other racing leagues that are predominantly white.
The goal of a tryout is to determine which players are best suited to playing in the NBA. Teams look for players who demonstrate skill and athleticism, as well as a strong knowledge of the game and the ability to work with a team.
The next stage is the skill assessment. You’ll be asked to demonstrate your shooting, dribbling and passing skills. You’ll also be asked to participate in various drills and scrimmages.
The third stage is the interview process. The coaches and scouts will evaluate your character and attitude. They’ll also ask you questions about your basketball background and what you can bring to the team.

And you don't see this happening in the NBA for potential on court jobs.
“I can say for sure that happens because I did it. Before retirement, I was an Engineer. For the last 20 years of my career, I was a Manager and Director and I hired hundreds of people. I reviewed well over a thousand resumes for all kinds of positions. Everything from Secretaries to Engineering Managers. Both Salary and Hourly. I always culled out the resumes with Black Ethnic names. Never shortlisted anybody with a Black Ethnic name. Never hired them.”
You don't see white NBA GM's discarding resumes of white players. The whining about this ignores front office, management, training staffs and ownershp employment only to complain about the players. It's another dishonest argument.
