Amir Coffey's college debut season was one of the best for a Gophers freshman in more than a decade.

Coffey’s upcoming sophomore year could establish him as one of the top guards in the country. A big step toward that goal might come from a solid showing Aug. 15-20 at the Nike Skills Academy in Los Angeles.

The 6-foot-8 former Hopkins standout is among 20 college players invited to participate in the development camp, which includes 80 of the top high school prospects in the nation. Nike combined the position skills academies in past years held by NBA stars like Chris Paul, LeBron James and Kevin Durant into one week-long camp in Southern California.

A collection of high-profile college and high school talent will get to compete against each other in front of NBA scouts, while also being taught by some of the NBA’s elite such as James, Durant, Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis and others.

Two local high school standouts, Tre Jones from Apple Valley and Gophers commit Daniel Oturu of Cretin-Derham Hall, are also invited to the Nike Basketball Academy next week in LA. Jones and Oturu were senior teammates with the Howard Pulley Panthers, one of the top AAU teams the Nike EYBL.
