ORLANDO – The NBPA Top 100 Camp continued Wednesday night in front of a sizable collection of college coaches from mostly the high major level. While some of the play was bordering on ugly, there was still plenty to take away and a few players were able to stand out from the crowd during the second round of action at one of the most competitive events of the summer.

Bradshaw finding his way

The Aaron Bradshaw train is picking up steam and the 7-footer from Camden (N.J.) seems to be picking up confidence and showing off more at each stop along the way of his development. Make no mistake, he's always been ranked highly and thought of as one of the most promising big men in the class. But it was mostly about who he could be and not what he is.

Now, Bradshaw is turning out to be what coaches and evaluators thought he could be and his current 247Sports ranking of No. 20 in the class of 2023 is something that he's looking to improve on. At the Top 100 Camp, Bradshaw is showing a little extra bounce in his step and while he's still lean, he's playing with more physicality and effort in the paint and it's hard to deny the things he can do on both the offensive end as a low post scorer and defensively as a rim protector. He's even showing new wrinkles like slick passing out of double teams and is generally playing with a level of confidence we haven't seen from him until recently.
