Over 40 professional coaches, personnel, scouts and agents converge on Las Vegas ESL first day! - Jul 17, 2012
Scouts from all over the world came to the first day of Las Vegas ESL. Players were put through NBA style drills for big men and guards by coaches; John Spezia (agency: Warren Sports International ), Eric Stang (guards) and Patrick O'Herron (agency: Warren Sports International ) (big men) and the scouts were packed in the gym. All players were put on teams of 8 and began evaluation games at one p.m. with each team having two evaluation games to ensure parity for all teams. With twelve teams and each team having 8 players, every player will play 7 games total, including evaluation games by the time the ESL concludes on Wednesday, July 18th. Furthermore, there are no camps being held this summer in America or in the world that will have this many games in a 3 day period for their players, ESL is the only one which gives its players this many games thus furthering their opportunities. All the coaches believe that the teams are going to be competitive and play hard throughout this ESL as there is no question that the players will have plenty of time to be evaluated by the many coaches and scouts that are in attendance. There will be many professional personnel people coming through the UNLV recreation center doors these 3 days, which is exactly the place where the USA Olympic mens basketball team practiced last week. The UNLV recreation center is beautiful and the perfect location, right behind Cox pavilion and right next to the Thomas and Mack center where the NBA Summer League is going on each day. The amount of scouts that are floating around this area is absolutely crazy right now. There is no question that where the ESL Vegas is being held right now is the hottest venue in town besides the NBA Summer League.
