The upcoming minicamp offers more than just a key developmental opportunity for these promising young players; it also serves as an important stage for exposure, allowing them to showcase their skills and gain recognition.


Babcock Hoops' NBA Draft Analyst Matt Babcock shared his thoughts on the upcoming minicamp:


"While I evaluate prospects at various stages through the lens of an NBA Draft Analyst, there are few better opportunities to get an early look at top young prospects than at USA Basketball minicamps. The setting is professional, and the competition is intense. I always prioritize attending their events and rarely miss them. I’m excited to see this newest group of young talent."


Be sure to check back for a recap after the minicamp, where Matt will provide his insights and highlight some of the standout prospects from the weekend.
