McCallum Attends Deron Williams Skills Academy
CHICAGO -- The summer keeps getting busier for junior guard Ray McCallum (Beverly Hills, MI/Detroit Country Day) as he just came back from the Deron Williams Skills Academy, held in Chicago from June 21-23.
"It was a great opportunity to go down there and learn from some of the best coaches," said McCallum. "The talent was great and I know that I learned a lot this week."
It is the second skills academy he has attended so far as the Horizon League Championship MVP participated in Chris Paul's CP3 Elite Guard Camp from June 8-11.
The skills academy – hosted by Nike – was closed to the public and college coaches as 16 of the top point guards at the collegiate level and 17 of the top high school players were invited.
