NBPA Top 100 Camp- Day Four School Lists & Top Scorers
Continuing with my school lists from the NBPA Top 100 Camp at John Paul Jones Arena at the University of Virginia, it is time to
post the lists I collected on the final day of the event. Click Here to view my Day One article, click Here to view my Day Two article, and click Here to view my Day Three article.Day Four of camp was the playoffs, with the NBA franchise-named teams vying for the NBPA Top 100 Camp team championship. There were two game sets plus the championship as well as an awards ceremony. With the main focus of the day being on games, there was a lot of time to speak with a number of the top-tier players in attendance that I did not catch up with on the first three days while in Charlottesville.
Check out all of the school lists and recruiting updates I collected on the final day of the event, as well as the players who finished camp as the top scorers. A longer list of the leading scorers—as well as the award winners—will come in a later post, and the player evaluations will be posted later on too.
