NBADraft.net: Looking at the Eurocamp roster I was surprised to see such a great field of talent. How were you able to secure so many of the top International prospects? Arturas Karnisovas: I will give credit to our working group, relationships, camp's reputation and would like to extend a huge thank you to european teams, agents and coaches that responded and helped us to accomplish that.

NBADraft.net: French SG Evan Fournier is headlining the camp and not going to the Chicago Draft combine. How were you able to persuade him to come to Treviso and not Chicago? Arturas Karnisovas: Again, this camp is a perfect set up for Euro players to bring out the very best they have to offer. Players believe and their representative believe that. NBADraft.net

NBADraft.net: I have heard grumbling from scouts in the past that it could be viewed as an unfair advantage for an NBA scout to coordinate it. Is there any concern about that for you? Arturas Karnisovas: I don't consider it a concern because it's being done openly. We're communicating with all the teams. We're communicating with the league. If anything I'm worried about possibly missing my duties as an international scout but we bring in other player personnel too to be very detailed. We try to build a camp based on all the needs of the teams, and also European teams. We're addressing all of the issues. It's a very unique camp, and it's an unbelievable experience to be a part of.
