The University of Virginia made room for some of the nation’s top basketball talent on Tuesday, as the NBPA Top 100 Camp made the campus it's home. The camp brings together the top-100 or so players in the nation to compete in drills and learn from former and current NBA players and coaches.
With several future NBA players in attendance, the camp had two participants from the state of Michigan this weekend, Saginaw Arthur Hill's Eric Davis and Muskegon's Deyonta Davis.
Deyonta Davis, a 6-9, 210-pound senior forward, is a 5-star prospect according to ESPN and a high 4-star according to recruiting sites Rivals, Scout and 247. The Michigan State commit is considered to be the top 2015 basketball prospect in the state of Michigan.
Davis has performed well at the Top 100 camp so far, earning praise from coaches and staff:
The fact that Davis was the ONLY player at the camp who wanted to get an early-morning practice in with the coaches speaks to his dedication to the game. With a work ethic like that, the sky is the limit.

I'd say that's pretty good, yeah?
While Davis is turning heads at the Top 100 camp, his summer camp tour is just getting started. Davis has been invited to participate in both the Nike Big Man Skills Academy (June 23-25) and the LeBron James Skills Academy (July 8-13).
After a summer of competing against the best prep players in the country, Davis should return to the Redmond-Potter Gymnasium a stronger, more developed player than the one who led his team to a 28-0 state championship season. Perhaps the 2015 basketball season will end the same way 2014 did? We can only hope.
