“I’m looking for the next talent… the next chief, the next Giannis. Too many young players fall into the hands of fake agents who ruin their careers before they even start. I want to help these kids avoid that and show them their dreams are achievable,” he said.

The camp will offer participants professional coaching, mentorship.
