CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - More observations from the NBPA top-100 camp for elite high school prospects:

・The most highly anticipated point guard meeting of the camp came Thursday night, when Brandon Knight of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., squared off with Kyrie Irving of Elizabeth, N.J.

Both players are Duke targets. Score this round to Knight, who’s an inch or two taller and more athletic than Irving. Knight penetrated and scored with ease, and Irving wasn’t strong enough to get into the lane against Knight.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - As Raleigh Word of God Academy forward C.J. Leslie expands his game, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to figure out where he should play on the floor.

Leslie is competing along with some of the top high school prospects in the nation at the NBA Players Association’s top-100 camp at the University of Virginia this week.

He handles the ball well enough at 6-foot-9 to play a sort of point forward role. But when he is trying to create shots away from the basket, the guards on his team seem uncertain what to do.
