The NBA's pre-draft process is set to continue this month, with adidas Eurocamp beginning May 31.
As the only officially sanctioned international NBA pre-draft camp, the event will feature plenty of high-profile names, all headed to Italy in order to impress NBA and Euroleague brass.
The 2025 edition of the camp will also feature a distinct Australian flavour, with one former college hoops star invited, as well as the debut of the NBL Next Stars team.
