Weaver Not At Camp

DraftExpress mentioned Kyle Weaver as one of two people who surprisingly turned down their NBA pre draft camp invite. From the article, " This speaks volumes about the depth of this draft, as a large number of quality NCAA players need to work their way into the first round or the top half of the second round, unlike anything we’ve seen in years past. A few eyebrows were raised by players like Jamont Gordon and Kyle Weaver shockingly deciding to pass up their invites to the pre-draft camp, but very few people wanted to dwell on it besides saying that they are clearly digging their own grave, Weaver especially, who can’t go back to school like Gordon can once he realizes that there is a strong possibility he will go undrafted." I am still confused why Weaver would turn down the invite. He needed to show the scouts that he has a solid offensive game. His defense is proven but the offense is questionable.

UPDATE: You can count on Vince Grippi from The SpokesmanReview to find all the info you need. Weaver and his agent decided that attending the camp would not help Weaver's draft status even with a stellar camp. I guess it makes sense but I imagine the scouts still want to see him play against top competition.
