 General Basketball WiretapOden Invited To Team USA CampAccording to Sports Illustrated, Greg Oden has been added to the list of players who will participate in this summer's Team USA tryout camp. Oden, the 7-foot Ohio State-bound center considered the best high school player in the country, has agreed to join 23 NBA players in the camp to be held July 19-25 in Las Vegas, USA Basketball Managing Director Jerry Colangelo confirmed Wednesday. The tryout camp will be used to select 15 players that will compete in this summer's World Championship in Japan. Colangelo said Oden's pending college enrollment would likely prevent him from competing in those games, but he could be part of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. "The purpose in having him there this summer is to expose him to USA Basketball, give him a chance to compete with [international-level players] and get a feel for what he needs to do," Colangelo said. "This is really for a couple years from now. Let's see how far he progresses. Maybe he's ready for '08." Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback NBA Breaks Ties For NBA Draft 2006 Order Selection
