Players are trained in the off-season. April and May are full of basketball trips, while June is full of camps, giving us a different type of evaluation platform.
This is a key environment to evaluate players, especially as we approach our updated Summer Rankings at the end of the month. It is important to see how players perform in drills, how they receive instructions and respond to training. June is a test of a player's learning ability, basketball IQ and training ability.
The Jay Bilas Camp, NBPA Top 100 and USA Basketball National Team Training Camp provide the necessary instruction and structure for players looking to learn and compete. These are the prospects from the 2025 and 2026 classes that made their mark and caught our attention at various camps over the past few weeks.
