It’s an early Thursday afternoon on the UNLV practice court out in sunny, hot Las Vegas, NV. Nearly 30 of the country’s best basketball players have been brought together for a three-day minicamp, officially setting in motion preparations for two major international competitions in 2019 and 2020.
A line begins forming just outside the three-point arc, where Clippers forward, Tobias Harris, kicks things off by knocking down a lengthy shot. Two-time Hornets All-Star Kemba Walker is right behind him with another long-distance make. Then, it’s Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner, Milwaukee Bucks guard Khris Middleton and reigning-MVP James Harden of the Houston Rockets all following suit.
