Players are made in the offseason. April and May are filled with travel basketball while June is filled with camps, which provides us a different type of evaluation platform.
This is a key environment to evaluate players, especially as we get closer to our updated summer rankings at the end of the month. Seeing how players function in drills, take direction and respond to coaching is important. June is a test of a player's learning ability, basketball IQ and coachability.
The Jay Bilas Camp, NBPA Top 100 and USA Basketball's National Team training camp all provide necessary teaching and structure for players looking to learn and compete. Here are the prospects across the 2025 and 2026 classes who made their mark and caught our attention at various camps over the last few weeks.
