NBA Draft Prospects of the Present and Future to Showcase Talent at 17th Annual adidas Eurocamp
One of the most anticipated pre-draft events every year, adidas Eurocamp brings together the best draft-eligible athletes ages 18 to 22 from across the globe. This three-day camp will take place from June 1-3 at Ghirada La Città Dello Sport in Treviso, Italy with a star-studded crop of athletes from around the world looking to showcase their talent.
It's no secret that adidas Eurocamp has a rich history of producing highly talented professional athletes — including 150 former and current NBA and EuroLeague players .
