All 29 NBA teams will have representatives at the pre-draft camp in Chicago, which takes place June 3 to June 10.

Only sixty-six players were invited to attend the event.

Among the elite group of players is Penn's two-time Ivy League Player of the Year: Ugonna Onyekwe.

If drafted, Onyekwe, who visited the Atlanta Hawks on May 21, as well as the Memphis Grizzlies and Chicago Bulls, would become the first Penn player to be picked in the NBA draft in eight years. Former Penn guard Jerome Allen was chosen by Minnesota in the second round in 1995.

Earlier this month, Onyekwe had a strong showing at an NBA camp in Portsmouth, Va., averaging 10.7 points and eight rebounds. The London, England native shot 50 percent from the field.

Onyekwe averaged 11.7 points and six rebounds this season. He scored 30 points in the first round of the NCAA tournament against Oklahoma State.

The NBA draft will be held on June 26.
