Former Walnut Hills High School standout MaCio Teague and former Aiken High School standout Carlik Jones are among 40 players expected to attend the 2021 NBA G League Elite Camp, per an announcement Monday on the league's website.
The event is scheduled to take place June 19-21 at Chicago's Wintrust Arena.
Teague, who scored 19 points to help the Baylor University Bears win the national championship game in March, announced in late April that he'd declare for the 2021 NBA Draft and sign with an agent.
Teague threw out the ceremonial first pitch before a Cincinnati Reds' win in April against Cleveland at Great American Ball Park.
Teague averaged 15.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 31.6 minutes per game last season. In March, he matched a school record with 10 3-pointers in a game in the Bears' 88-73 win against Texas Tech.
Teague, who averaged 26.4 points per game as a senior at Walnut Hills, played two seasons at Baylor after transferring from UNC Asheville. He received his Bachelor of Science in Education from Baylor last May.
When Jones announced in April that he was entering his name in the 2021 NBA Draft, he left open the possibility that he might return for another season with the University of Louisville Cardinals. He announced two weeks later that he would forego any remaining eligibility and remain in the draft.
Last season - Jones' first at Louisville - he led the Cardinals with 16.8 points, 4.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game. He also averaged 4.9 rebounds per game as a first-team all-ACC selection.
Jones transferred to Louisville after he was named the Big South Player of the Year as a redshirt junior guard for the Radford Highlanders.
At Aiken, Jones was twice named CMAC Player of the Year.
