Lance, Dom, Dex Hit the Road

Lance Stephenson, Dominic Cheek and Dexter Strickland are on the road again.

The three junior stars are headed this weekend to Portland, Ore. for the second camp in the adidas Nations program, and thus will miss the GBOA East Region in Dix Hills, N.Y.

The first adidas Nations camp was held in March at Seton Hall University and the third will take place in Los Angeles June 13-15. The American teams will then go to Dakar, Senegal June 18-23 for an international competition.

The program will culminate with the adidas Nations Basketball Experience in Dallas Aug 7-12.

Stephenson and Strickland will also try out for the FIBA Americas U18 Championship team at Georgetown July 1-4. If either of both makes that team, they will head to Formosa, Argentina later that month.
