Adidas Eurocamp 2014 set for June
The Adidas Eurocamp 2014 will take place on June 7-9 at Treviso, Italy. The annual camp is an event geared to showcase the skills and talents of some of today’s top international players. All 30 NBA teams will be sending representatives to the event to scout the participants.
There are more than a few Eurocamp alumni who are now currently notable players in the NBA. Some of which are Andrea Bargnani, Nicolas Batum, Serge Ibaka and Danilo Gallinari. While attending the camp is by no means a guarantee that a player will land a contract in the NBA, it does provide good exposure, training and information that is useful to the players.
Clinics will be conducted by Ricky Rubio, Luigi Datome, Nicolas Batum and Danilo Gallinari. NBA great Vlade Divac will also be a guest speaker on Day 2 of the event.
Some of the participants of the event who will have many eyes looking at their performance include: Ludde Hakanson (Sweden), Zoran Nikolic (Montenegro), Paolo Marinelli (Croatia), Marius Grigonis (Lithuania) and Mikhail Kulagin (Russia).
