The camp will begin with drills on Tuesday evening. Then there will be drills 9 a.m. Wednesday morning before games, between the six teams, are played at 11 a.m., 5 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. The same schedule repeats itself on Thursday and Friday.

Between 60-64 players are expected to participate, though the NBA does not release the list until Tuesday evening because some players pull out at the last minute. Agents have players pull out of the camp so their draft value isn't affected negatively.

If he does not participate, a player leaves the final evaluation process to the individual workouts, which have already begun.

Entering the Chicago camp, here are 10 questions people are seeking to answer:

1. Will the Washington Wizards keep their first overall selection or trade down for multiple picks or a lower pick and players?

2. How many underclassmen playing in the Chicago camp will be humiliated, as Providence's Karim Shabazz was last season?

3. How many underclassmen will follow Kentucky's Tayshaun Prince and head back to school?

4. How many youngsters who have signed with agents realize they have made an irreversible error in judgment?

5. Will anyone step up and prove scouts and general managers wrong? Dozens of pro guys wrote off Michigan's Jamal Crawford before Chicago last year. Then Crawford was selected No. 7 overall and earned that slot through a great showing.

6. How far will Jamaal Tinsley drop without a fine showing in Chicago?

7. Will St. John's point guard Omar Cook be drafted among the top 35 picks?

8. What will become of the international players participating here? Can more than one of them achieve lottery status?

9. Who will be the top five selections? Is Shane Battier a top 5 lock simply because of the character and maturity that accompanies his non-top 5 talent?

10. Which player will have the biggest impact at the camp?

These and many other questions could be answered at the camp, while others will be raised.

We will provide daily reports from the 2001 NBA PreDraft Camp beginning Tuesday.
