Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith headed to NYC to work with National Team
Kyle and Nolan gave their coach a hand last month at the USA Basketball training camp and will be heading to the Big Apple to do the same next week. The Duke captains are among 10 top NCAA seniors and juniors on the USA Select Team that will train against the National Team in New York City from August 10th to the 13th.
Joining Nolan and Kyle on the Select Team will be JaJuan Johnson (Purdue), Jon Leuer (Wisconsin), Shelvin Mack (Butler), Howard Thompkins (Georgia), Mike Tisdale (Illinois), Kemba Walker (Connecticut) and Chris Wright (Dayton). Villanova coach Jay Wright will return to direct the USA Select Team in NYC.
“One of the great developments of our Las Vegas camp was the USA Select Team which consisted of juniors and seniors out of the college ranks that we brought in to scrimmage against the USA National Team,” USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said in a statement. “Lorenzo Romar and Jay Wright did a terrific job of coaching the select players in Las Vegas. It worked so well we’ve decided to bring to New York a smaller group of players from that Select Team to do the same thing. They were very valuable to us, and it’s a great experience for them.”
