Former UNC men’s basketball standout Harrison Barnes was among 35 players selected Saturday to join the U.S. National Team roster for minicamp in Las Vegas this summer.

The camp is slated to run from July 25-27, and is designed to help evaluate talent that could potentially be selected on the 12-man roster for the 2019 Basketball World Cup and the 2020 Olympics.

Barnes previously played on the U.S. national team that took home the gold medal in the 2016 Olympics.

“While we do not have an official competition that we need to prepare for in 2018, the selection and announcement of our new pool of national team members and this year’s July minicamp are important first steps in our preparations to defend the FIBA World Cup and Olympic titles we won during the last two quadrenniums,” Jerry Colangelo, the director of the U.S. National Team, said in a statement.
