The basketball development camp, run jointly with FIBA,
basketball's world governing body, will be held June 23-26 at
Dandenong Basketball Stadium in Melbourne.
During the camp, prospects from the Asia-Pacific region born in
1999 will receive instruction from NBA and FIBA players and
coaches while also taking part in community outreach projects.
The Basketball without Borders program, first held in 2001, has
sent 37 players on to the NBA, including 21 that featured on
opening-night rosters for the 2015-16 NBA season.
