Kansas target Joe Jackson led his team to the finals of the NBPA camp in Charlottesville, Virgina before running into one of the top 2011 players in the country Michael Gilchrist.

2010 Kansas target Andreian Payne was a top performer during day two of the NBPA Camp in Charlottesville, Virginia. When Payne brings energy to the floor, there is no question that his length and athleticism jump out at you.

• 2010 point guard prospects Brandon Knight(Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Pine Crest), Joe Jackson (Memphis, Tenn./White Station), Markel Starks(North Bethesda, Md./Georgetown Prep, Committed to Georgetown) and Gary Franklin (Santa Anna, Calif., Mater Dei, Committed to USC) were also impressive Thursday. Knight attacked the rim, and hit mid-range and 3-point jumpers consistently. Jackson was a super-athletic finisher with a scoring mentality.
