Patty Mills may take part in Reebok Eurocamp
Just came across this information on Draft Express. Seems that our own Patty Mills may be headed to Europe to take part in the Reebok Eurocamp to help boost his draft stock by going head to head with Brandon Jennings.
"St. Mary's junior Patrick Mills may be taking an interesting route to elevating his NBA draft stock in anticipation of the June 15th underclassmen withdrawal deadline. In all likelihood, it appears that Mills will be taking part in the Reebok Eurocamp in Treviso from June 6th-8th, where he'll get a chance to test himself in a five on five setting against some other intriguing point guard prospects, such as Brandon Jennings and Rodrigue Beaubois. With the elimination of the competitive aspects of the NBA pre-draft camp in favor of drills and interviews, it appears that there is "no better place for Patty to improve his draft stock" according to one source familiar with his thinking.
This would be a major boost for the Eurocamp, as it would give GMs yet another reason (a potential first round pick) to make the weekend trek over to Italy. As it is, the camp is generating some major buzz, and the organizers are expecting a huge influx of high-level decision makers to evaluate the talent on hand."
What do people think of this potential move for our own Patty? Would it be a good move or a bad risk? Most mock drafts including Draftxpress have his going as a late first rounder in this year's draft...can it elevate him to a lottery pick with a good showing against Jennings?
