For years now, the NBPA Top 100 Camp has brought together the top high school prospects from around the country. The 2018 camp was no different, as prospects from across the country (and globe) met in Charlottesville, Virginia to compete.
Some of the very best were not in attendance with USA Basketball in full swing, however there was a ton of talent in the building. Players were in and played between 7-9 games and we were in attendance for each player's first 4 games.
