Adidas Announces EUROCAMP Participants

Today, adidas announced the participants for the tenth annual adidas EUROCAMP.  Held in Treviso, Italy June 10-12, the three-day camp brings the best young international basketball players together with former and current NBA coaches and players. It is the only officially sanctioned pre-NBA Draft camp held outside of the United States.
More than 45 early entries and draft-eligible participants will play in adidas EUROCAMP 2012 including projected 2012 NBA Draft picks Evan Fournier (France) and Tomas Satoransky (Czech Republic), according to an adidas press release.
“Adidas EUROCAMP is celebrating its tenth anniversary this June with the top international basketball talent in the world,” said Lawrence Norman, adidas vice president of Global Basketball. “International players continue to impact the NBA as the game of basketball grows every year and we are proud to work with the next wave of international prospects.”
Special guests at this year’s camp will include three-time NBA Champion and Hall of Famer Kevin McHale, Danilo Gallinari, Nic Batum and former college standout and long-time European professional Trajan Langdon, according to the release.  The Under-20 Men’s Basketball National Teams from Russia, France and Australia will also participate.
In 2011, adidas EUROCAMP participants included three top 2011 NBA Draft picks including Jonas Valanciunas of Lithuania (fifth overall/Toronto Raptors), Jan Vesely of the Czech Republic (sixth overall/Washington Wizards) and Bismack Biyombo of the Republic of Congo (seventh overall/Sacramento Kings – traded to Charlotte Bobcats). Nearly 20 former EUROCAMP participants currently hold NBA contracts and more than 60 currently play Euroleague basketball.
