Camp History
This national camp has served as a "coming out" party for many top past and current HS all-americans and well as a showcase for many more national "sleepers". The last seven camp MOPs have been James Harden (Arizona State/Houston Rockets/2009 NBA Draft #3 pick), Brandon Jennings (Milwaukee Bucks/2009 NBA Draft #10 pick), John Wall (2008 Rivals.com #1 player/Kentucky/Washington Wizards/#1 pick of the 2010 NBA Draft), Harrison Barnes (Scout.com & ESPN.com's #1 2010 player/North Carolina/Golden State Warriors lottery pick), Myck Kabongo (ESPN.com Class of 2011 #10/Texas), Shabazz Muhammad (consensus #1 in 2012/UCLA) and Cliff Alexander (Top 5 2014 prospect).
