Don't expect much of a slowdown with free agency this week, but there will be plenty of NBA executives out of their offices for the next several days.Many NBA teams will have front-office personnel in Akron, Ohio, where the LeBron James Skills Academy got underway on Sunday afternoon. Getting most of the attention is certain to be point guard John Wall, who could be the No. 1 overall selection in the 2010 NBA draft.
However, Wall wasn't present for Sunday's mid-afternoon start to the camp. And as it turns out, Wall is not on either the college or high school roster.
Wall, who will attend the University of Kentucky in the fall, was considering challenging the NBA's age requirement before this season's draft. Wall, who will turn 19 later this year, may have gone as high as No. 2 in last June's draft.
The rosters for the camp aren't published until Monday, but Wall, who was an attendee last year, figured to be there.
James' skills camp features the top 80 high school players as well as a number of college players who have attended the camp in years past. One of the most interesting aspects of the camp is that it allows players to compete against James, who sometimes plays in games, as well as other pros.
Most NBA teams figure to be in attendance at the camp, although each franchise is limited to just one representative.
James' camp isn't the only thing going on this week. The Orlando Pro Summer League, featuring six teams, starts on Monday and the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas begins on Friday.
