Some notable international players who have attended adidas EUROCAMP include Danilo Gallinari (Denver Nuggets), Serge Ibaka (Oklahoma City Thunder), Andrea Bargnani (New York Knicks), Marco Belinelli (San Antonio Spurs), Nicolas Batum (Portland Trail Blazers) and Goran Dragic (Miami Heat).

EUROCAMP 2015 featured Croatia’s Dragan Bender, a top NBA overseas prospect expected to land as a first-round lottery pick in the upcoming 2016 NBA Draft.

Maurizio Gherardini, the founder of EUROCAMP and Fenerbahce Ulker Istanbul general manager, returns as the camp director. Former NBA assistant coach Bill Bayno returns as coaching director for the fourth year.
