USA Basketball announces that former Kentucky and current member of the Charlotte Bobcats Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has been added to the list of invitees to the Team USA Mini Camp in Las Vegas.
This isn’t the first experience MKG has had with Team USA.
Charlotte’s Kidd-Gilchrist boasts of prior USA Basketball experience as a member of the 2011 USA Junior Select Team that won the 2011 Nike Hoop Summit and as a member of the 2010 USA U17 World Championship Team that finished 8-0 and captured the gold medal. A 2012-13 NBA All-Rookie second team choice, Kidd-Gilchrist started in 77 of the 78 games he appeared in for the Bobcats and averaged 9.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists a game, and shot 45.8 percent from the field.
The mini camp begins July 21st and will end July 25th with a blue-white intrasquad scrimmage.
Kentucky’s Anthony Davis, John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins will also be trying to make the cut for Team USA.
