I'm on the UNLV campus tonight checking out a scrimmage involving NBA players who have been part of the USA Basketball "mini-camp" the past three days.
There are 20 players (most of which are 25 or younger) participating with the coach of the U.S. program, Mike Krzyzewski of Duke (who recently signed on to continue coaching the program after lead the U.S. to gold last summer in China), sitting on the scorers' table watching and, no doubt, evaluating.
One quarter has been played and the "White" team leads the "Blue", 23-15.
Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo (both of Memphis) played pretty well in the quarter, as did Greg Oden (Portland).
Eric Gordon of the Clippers and two former UCLA players, Kevin Love (Minnesota) and Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City) are also participating.
