2016 Stars Jamal Murray, Isaac Humphries to Headline Basketball Without Borders Camp At All-Star Weekend
Jamal Murray of Orangeville Prep (Ontario) and Isaac Humphries of La Lumiere (IN) are among the young international stars who will headline the first-ever Basketball without Borders (BWB) Global Camp.
The camp will be held February 13-15 at Baruch College in Manhattan as part of NBA All-Star 2015 in New York City, and Nike will be the official partner. NBA scouts can attend the event.
The campers, ages 16-18 and coming from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe, will train with select NBA and FIBA players and coaches including Danilo Gallinari (Denver Nuggets; Italy; BWB Europe 2003), Gorgui Dieng (Minnesota Timberwolves; Senegal; BWB Africa 2009), Steven Adams (Oklahoma City Thunder; New Zealand), and Tiago Splitter (San Antonio Spurs; Brazil).
“It’s always an honour to represent my country and to see my generation fulfilling their dreams,” the 6-foot-5 Murray told Canada Basketball. “I’m looking forward to playing against the best in the world. It’s great to see my dreams become realities and my hard work paying off.”
Eddie Ekiyor (New Hampton School) and Justin Jackson (Findlay Prep) will also represent Canada at the inaugural event, held February 13-15 at Baruch College in Manhattan as part of NBA All-Star 2015 in New York City.
Murray, who is considering reclassing to 2015 like his teammate Thon Maker, is being recruited by Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Illinois, Louisville and Oregon, among others.
The 7-foot Humphries holds offers from Oregon, Kansas, Arizona, New Mexico, Florida, Illinois and Utah. For more on Humphries, read this. And check back next week for updates from the camp.
