Juvonte Reddic joins an elite group of college big men as the rising senior was invited to participate in Nike's Big Man Skills Academy.

The three-day event will be hosted by NBA ballers, Amar'e Stoudemire and Anthony Davis, and is open to NBA scouts. Reddic is one of just two non-BCS players in the 13-man group to earn an invite.

Reddic averaged double digit scoring for the second consecutive season, posting a career-high 14.6 points per game for the Rams. Reddic added 8.1 rebounds and an impressive 1.4 steals as VCU's leading big, and earned a spot on this past season's All-Atlantic 10 Second Team.

Reddic has received high praise from several national publications heading into this upcoming season and is currently projected as a mid second rounder in the 2014 NBA Draft by NBADraft.net.
