n years past, Nike hosted a series of skills academies branded under the names of Nike’s top basketball athletes. This summer there will be just one event with some of the biggest names in the sport on hand as instructors. Among those expected at the camp are LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis.
Webb, the 2014-15 Mountain West Newcomer of the Year, will be a redshirt junior for the Broncos next season. The 6-foot-9 wing averaged 11.2 points and eight rebounds per game last year, while shooting better than 40 percent from three-point range.
