NBA All-Star Deron Williams of the New Jersey Nets will host the top 20 high school and top 10 college point guards for a three-day training camp as part of the NIKE Skills Academies. At each of the three position-specific events, the high school athletes had the opportunity to receive personal instruction from the NBA athlete along with an elite group of high school and NBA coaches.
The goal of the Skills Academies is to instill the fundamentals into the next generation of top players. Each academy focuses on strength and conditioning and skill development. In addition to the on-court instruction the players also get to hear from the NBA athlete and the coaches on life lessons and what it takes to make it at the next level.
