The name of the G League Elite Camp is a bit of a misnomer — when first introduced, the event showcased NBAGL players, but the field of participants now consists exclusively of draft prospects. The event will take place on May 13 and 14 in Chicago, ahead of this year’s draft combine.
Like the combine, the Elite Camp brings young players to Chicago to meet NBA teams and participate in drills and scrimmages. While the combine focuses on the top prospects in a given draft class, the Elite Camp generally features prospects who are trying to break into that upper echelon of prospects but are more likely to go undrafted. The top performers at the event typically receive invites to the combine.
Of the 50 G League Elite Camp invitees, 15 show up on Jonathan Givony’s list of this year’s top 100 prospects at ESPN.com. However, no Elite Camp invitee ranks higher than No. 58 (Hart) on ESPN’s board.
The G League Elite Camp will give the invitees who declared for the draft as early entrants an opportunity to see where they stand ahead of the draft withdrawal deadline on May 31. Not all of the players who participate in this event will remain in the draft pool.
Some NBA players who have participated in past G League Elite Camps include Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado, Pacers forward Oshae Brissett, Clippers guard Terance Mann, and Heat wing Max Strus.
If Jacob fails out him and Obi can open an ice cream parlour lol “Lotsa Toppin’s”
Smash like if you’d eat a scoop of rocky road from Obi and or Jake
Even if they did open up.aj ice cream store, it is HIGHLY unlikely either of then would ever actually serve anyone..
Maybe they’d be there for their Grand Opening, and serve like 10 customers for the cameras and publicity, but that would probably be it..lol
Either way, you wouldn’t catch me dead eating there, unless they were basically sponsoring some dessert specialist that had already made somewhat of a name for themselves…
Wow your comment is dripping with cynicism. You must be a millennium…
And by the way, no one is going to make a dead person eat ice cream. That is morbid and as twisted as soft serve!
I love when people say someone else is being cynical, when they’re just being realistic..
It was clearly a make believe scenario, solely to make a joke, but I was just saying if it were somehow real…I’d happily pass. Odds are they know nothing about ice cream, and/or they’re simply just funding the place, which wouldn’t make it worth it either..
Definitely not a millennial, and don’t appreciate such an insult..lol
Richard — it’s ice cream. I need to know more about your journey that you’ll only eat delicious frozen milk product from artisan shops with decades of experience. “They know nothing about ice cream.” Who cares?! This hipster mentality is just another indication that you’re a millennium, though you claim you are not.
I bet you buy cologne solely because it has a celebrities name on it…
Yeah, I love smelling like my favorite Pacer, Calvin Cline lol
Lol haha
To much time on your hands
Kobe’s dad is up for the draft again lol
