Day 3 consisted of some light drill work and short scrimmages in the morning followed by two games in the afternoon. By this point however, most scouts and executives in attendance knew who to look out for. These games were slightly dampened by a few players that had left Eurocamp to return to their respective teams or other events they were attending. The biggest such name was Ioannis Papapetrou who we highlighted in our Day 1 Recap.
Today instead of picking three players I will put together my starting five from the Adidas Eurocamp as a whole.
PG: Vasa Micic
- 6’5- 20 years old- Played last season with Mega Vizura of the Serbian league- Draft Projection: Late first/Early second round
What he did to impress:- Extremely creative in pick and roll situations both with scoring and play making- Showed the ability to quarterback a team on the court- Displayed a good 3-point shooting touch
SG: Nemanja Dangubic

What he did to impress:
- Consistently moved very well without the ball and was able to exploit the defense by finding openings- Uses his length and athleticism very well on the defensive side of the ball- Showed a nice shooting stroke although will have to continue to develop this to become a consistent 3-point threat- Rebounded the ball very well at both ends
SF: Ioannis Papapetrou
- 6’8- 20 years old- Played last season with Greek power house Olympiacos- Previously played one year at the University of Texas- Draft Projection: Late second round- What he did to impress- He is a big strong wing player- Defended the perimeter extremely well- Finished effectively in the lane and showed the ability to get to the rim off the dribble- Also showed flashes of a 3pt shooting touch but he will need to continue to work to make this a true part of his game
PF: Cristiano Felicio

C: Johannes Voigtmann
- 7’0 C- 22 years old- Played Last season with Frankfurt Skyliners of the German League- Draft Projection: Undrafted
What he did to impress:
