We evaluated the final three days of the 2015 NBPA Top 100 Camp in Charlottesville, Va. and broke down our notes and reports to name the camp's top 40 performers led by MVP Thon Maker and Trevon Duval, the point guard on the championship team at the prestigious event.
The following list is based on evaluations from three days of games from the four-day 2015 NBPA Top 100 Camp. The list is based on performance at the camp only, not on performance combined with previous honors, national or state ranking. Some players did not play in every session of the camp and that was a factor in the final selections. This camp is likely the deepest on the summer grassroots circuit with regards to most national top 100 players in attendance. With the depth of players in the Top 100 range, there are some deserving players who just missed the Top 40 and would be in another evaluators’ list based on which game one focused on among the three playing courts. Our evaluations are based on all-around performance within the context of winning basketball. We also took into account statistics provided at the event and a player's class.
