Brandon Roy accepted an invitation to participate in the USA Basketball mini-camp this summer, a pre-cursor in his attempts to make the national team. Roy is one of 25 rising NBA stars to accept the invitation and will partake in practices from July 23-24 before an intra-squad game on July 25. All practices are taking place at a Las Vegas high school with the game taking place at UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center.

This is Roy's first time ever participating with USA Basketball. Although this does not guarantee him a spot on the national team, it will allow him to get his foot further in the door.

Roy is the second Husky in the last week to become entrenched with the USA Basketball program. Current Husky Quincy Pondexter is currently preparing for the World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia from July 1 through the 12th. Pondexter and the rest of his teammates hopped on a plane today for Serbia.
