Australia's best high school basketballers are out to impress 23 college coaches from the United States in Canberra this week.

Basketball Australia has flown out the college coaches for the three-day camp, which will include a number of drills, tests and three tournament-style matches for the 32 most talented high school players in the country.

"Australian basketballers have become a very intriguing prospect to colleges," Centre of Excellence coach Adam Caporn said.

"The current Boomers have done so many great things for our sport through college, Europe, internationally, and in the NBL and NBA."

Some of the boom on Aussie talent comes off the back of Ben Simmons and Thon Maker going as top 10 NBA draft picks on June 23 and the camp is the first of its kind to be held in Australia.
