Being here for just two days didn't allow us to get a great handle on most of the players here, but it did give us (and the NBA talent evaluators sitting alongside us) an opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the newest names that will be rolling off our tongues in coming years.
Obviously much more than just an exposure camp for NCAA prospects, the LeBron James Skills Academy featured 93 of the top high school players in America.

The top college prospects, with their ranking on our preliminary DraftExpress 2010 mock draft in parenthesis:īetween this, the USA Basketball Under-19 World Championship Tryouts, and the World University Games Tryouts, we've now been able to take in a pretty solid chunk of the players that will make up the 2010 NBA draft.Īlongside the names and colleges of the NCAA prospects on the roster list, we also find measurements done by the Nike people here at this camp.

The LeBron Camp has slowly gained in notoriety year after year as a hotspot for future NBA lottery picks, to the point that nearly every NBA team now sends a representative. In this initial report, we talk about who made it out to the camp and what they worked on, while our second report will feature evaluations of those who stood out the most. We were able to take in a number of top high school and college prospects, many of whom will be featured prominently on this site in coming years.
With the 2009 NBA Draft in the rearview mirror, it's time to start thinking about 2010 and beyond, which prompted us to spend a few days at the LeBron James Skills Academy in Akron, Ohio.
