PARKER, Colo. — Five-time NBA All-Star Chauncey Billups and his basketball academy will hold summer camp next week.
Billups has recruited Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas to help at the camp.
Marcus Mason, who runs Nothing But Net-Elite basketball coaching as well as Billups’ camp, joined us on Channel 2 news at 7 p.m. Thursday while watching the NBA draft with one of his former students, Derrick White.
The Parker native and CU player was waiting to learn his fate. White was drafted with the 29th pick in the first round by the San Antonio Spurs.
White attended Billups’ summer camp in the past. Coach Mason said, “You never know who you might see and the experience you will have.”
Each camper receives a camp T-shirt, a basketball, one personally autographed item and photographs with Chauncey Billups.
In previous years they have had big names like Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Kyle Lowry, Jamal Crawford, Emmanuel Mudiay and Chris Paul.
The camp takes place June 26-29 at the Parker Fieldhouse.
