BEAUMONT – Lamar senior Colton Weisbrod has been invited to an NBA Pre-Draft Camp, hosted by S.W.O.T. Technologies, organization officials announced Saturday morning.

Weisbrod is one of only eight Southland Conference players invited to the tryout camp. In addition to working out for NBA scouts, there will also be professional league scouts from teams in Europe and China.

The camp will follow an NBA format with participating players competing in 5-on-5 games under NBA rules, as well as shooting drills. The camp will also test athleticism, speed and agility. It is run by experienced former NBA front office personnel and coaches.

A two-time first-team All-Southland Conference selection, Weisbrod scored just under 1,000 points and pulled down more than 500 rebounds during his two-year LU career.

A former junior college All-American, Weisbrod once again finished ranked among the league leaders scoring nearly 15 points and eight rebounds per game. The Nederland native also ranked among the league’s best with eight double-doubles.

Weisbrod played in and started all 33 games this season and averaged a near double-double despite facing double and triple teams on a nightly basis. Weisbrod scored in double figures 23 times, including six 20-point outings and a career-high 38 against Central Arkansas. He also recorded double-digit rebounds nine times during his senior campaign.

He led the team in scoring 12 times during the 2018 season, and posted team-high rebound honors 16 times.

A two-time All-district selection, Weisbrod was a member of a senior class that helped change the culture at Lamar. Weisbrod guided Big Red to back-to-back postseason appearances. Prior to his arrival, Weisbrod had not advanced to postseason play since the 2011-12 season.

The camp will take place March 27-28 in Atlanta, Georgia.
