    LINK <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Jordan Farmar is the one player that decided to play in the camp despite being a projected first rounder. Scouts mentioned being impressed that he decided to play here and felt that it would take a lot for him to damage his stock. He's already proven himself (during the season and tournament), and scouts are down on the (bubble first round) players who did not end up playing at the camp. It gives the impression that they have something to hide. Farmar looked very impressive setting up teammates for scores and making sound decisions with the ball. Some of the more physical point guards tried to bump him around, but he appeared unfazed.Look for UNLV's Louis Amundson to have a huge camp. Out of all the players here he played with the most energy in day one and definitely turned some heads. He was all over the court blocking shots, grabbing boards, and knocking down 12-15 foot jumpers. If he continues to impress, especially shooting the ball, he could move all the way to the top of the second round. Late first round is not even out of the question.Hartford power forward Kenny Adeleke looked impressive in day one. He had one emphatic block on an Amundson shot and told him to "get that expletive out of here!" He also showed a lot of heart running the floor and converting on a few dunks and showing surprising mobility. He's got one of the biggest bodies in camp with broad shoulders and long arms and shows decent agility. He looked considerably better than Taj Gray today.Matt Haryasz and James Augustine are teammates on Team 3 and similar sized, long and agile players. Both looked decent in drills but didn't do much that stood out in the practice games. Augustine has more strength inside, while Haryasz is more explosive and has better touch on his shot. Both players have a decent shot to be drafted and have a lot at stake at the camp.</div>

    Jordan Famar is no lock for the first round but it's good that he entered the camp like he said because it shows he has nothing to hide. I just want to see the measurements some of these guys have since the college ones are always bloated.
