The NBAPA Top 100 Camp came to a close a few days ago, so I have had some time to reflect upon it before writing this article. In addition to my previous posts on the event (Day One, Day Two, Day Three, Pac-10/SEC Commits, ACC/Big East/Big Ten Commits), I wanted to do a write-up on the camp as a whole, with a complete rundown of how it went. Take a look:

Held at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, the NBAPA Top 100 Camp was a phenomenal event, featuring just over 100 of the top players in the nation. Predominantly composed of 2010 ballers, there was also about 15 or so players in the class of 2011, and one from the class of 2013 (Jabari Parker). With around 95-100 high-major level players in attendance, Dave Telep of Scout, did a great job of loading it up. Many of the biggest names in the country came out to UVA, such as Ohio State-commit Jared Sullinger '10, Texas-bound Tristan Thompson '10, Harrison Barnes '10, Brandon Knight '10, and Michael Gilchrist '11.

A key part of the camp for the players was skill work and lectures, although there was of course game action too. The ballers were split up into 10 teams of 10 or 11 players, and each squad was coached by a high school coach (i.e. Michael Peck of Findlay Prep in NV) and an NBA player (i.e. Bobby Jackson of the Kings). The coaches really got into it, calling timeouts, working the officials, having the players foul late, etc., and that really made it fun. Though the players may not have been as concerned with winning, they did play hard and even showed effort on the defensive end. This was really a great chance for the players to learn, get coached, and get exposure.

As listed in my report on Day Two of the camp, the following players were selected to the first ever NBAPA Top 100 Camp All-Star Game:

BLUE
*Josh Selby ’10, Lake Clifton (MD), Tennessee . . . 8 points
