    Maybe not all teams would be able to get a full scrimmage in and those that did would have an edge by seeing the players in a game situation. The various camps, such as Phoenix and Chicago, allow all teams to see game situations.

    According to the <a href="http://orlandosentinel.com/automagic/sports/2000-06-16/SPTmagic16061600.html">Orlando Sentinel</a>,

    A new NBA rule prohibits teams from running full five-on-five open-court games with potential draft picks.

    Anyone have any idea why? The only thing I can think of is to protect the draftees from injury, which might lower their draft position. But I also think this prevents the NBA team from getting a complete picture of the prospect.
