The nine adidas Eurocamp games will be broadcast live and free to air on SKWEEK and YouTube, with commentary in French and English. Alain Digbeu, the former French international and current consultant for the NBA and SKWEEK, will deliver his analysis courtside.
SKWEEK will equip players with POV cameras that allow fans to experience the best action as if on the court themselves. In addition, a Steadicam will be present to record free throws and throw-ins. With these innovations, SKWEEK will offer a new immersive experience for its basketball fans.
As the only officially sanctioned NBA pre-draft camp outside of the United States, elite draft-eligible hoopers will have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills for a breakout pro basketball career on the world stage.
