Tuesday morning USA Basketball released the list of 53 players who have been invited to attend Junior National Team minicamp, which takes place October 4-5 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Among the 53 players are 16 Class of 2015 prospects, including five-star prospects Jaylen Brown, Isaiah Briscoe and Malik Newman. Five players on the list were members of the U17 team that won the FIBA U17 World Championships this summer, with eight playing for the team that won the FIBA Americas U18 title.

“I look forward to working with a new group of players in October,” USA Basketball Developmental national team head coach Don Showalter said in the release. “We have expanded the group to include players eligible for three different age groups, and within that mix we have some players who already have USA Basketball experience and who have won gold medals as well as a lot of players who are new to USA Basketball.”

The Class of 2018 has the highest number of players invited to the camp (20), with there also being 17 Class of 2017 prospects who received invitations. The camp will help USA Basketball begin the process of filling rosters for two 2015 international events, the Nike Hoop Summit and the FIBA Americas U16 Championships. Other events to be taken into consideration are the 2016 FIBA U17 World Championships and the 2016 FIBA Americas U18 Championships.
