It's always an exciting time of the year for basketball fans. With March Madness getting underway, players are competing with the goal of winning a national championship.
Plus, elite players also have their eyes set on the next chapter of their basketball journeys. The league has done an outstanding job over the years of establishing events for players to generate more exposure. It gives these individuals the opportunity to improve their stock when it comes to the eventual draft.
One event that has grown in importance over the years is the G League Elite Camp. The showcase usually focuses on players that are expected to be in consideration for the second round of the draft. If players impress, they are often invited to compete at the draft combine.
A number of prospects have generated buzz as potential top selections for the 2023 NBA draft. Outside of Victor Wembanyama, G League guard Scoot Henderson is considered by many to be a favorite to go second this year. There's still plenty of time for players to improve their draft stock over the next several months.
With teams getting prepared to schedule private workouts and interviews at the combine, basketball fans will be waiting with great anticipation. The hope is that these events can eventually bring a new star to the fan bases of multiple organizations.
