NBA front office executives and scouts from around the league are expected to be on hand to evaluate the talent. The event gives NBA teams the opportunity to evaluate elite young players as they fill their summer league and training camp rosters.
Josh Selby, a 6-2, 183 lb. guard out of the University of Kansas, joined the Red Claws on March 7 in a trade with the Canton Charge. Selby, 22, played in 11 games for Canton this season while on assignment from the Cleveland Cavaliers, averaging 15.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 32.9 minutes per games. Selected by the Memphis Grizzlies with the 49th overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, he also appeared in 10 games for the Grizzlies in 2012-13, averaging 2.0 points in 5.9 minutes per game. Selby was acquired by the Cavaliers from the Grizzlies via a trade on January 22, 2013 and was waived by the Cavaliers on March 3 before signing with the Charge as an NBADL player. He appeared in 10 games with the Red Claws, averaging 11.3 points per game. In two playoff appearances with the Red Claws, Selby averaged 25 ppg and 6 rpg.
