Virginia Tech’s future backcourt was on display at last week’s NBPA Top 100 Camp. For Hidden Valley (Roanoke, VA) rising senior Ben Boggs , the chance to play with fellow 2009 class commit Erick Green was an opportunity not only to play alongside a close friend, but to get to know each other’s tendencies on the court as well.

“I’ve known [Green] for a while, but we’ve never been on the same team,” Boggs said when interviewed at last week’s NBPA Camp in Charlottesville. He and Green were roommates at the camp. “We’ve played against each other a couple times. We’ve been friends for the past couple of years, so finally we get to be on the same team. It’s been good, learning each other. I mean, there are times where I’ll be coming up and I might cut back door but he’s going to pass it just because we don’t know each other’s games, but I think we’re already developing chemistry which will be key for the future.

“It’s real cool playing with somebody you know you’re going to be playing with for the next four years. It’s been a good experience.”
