(Saint John, NB): The Saint John Mill Rats, presented by Rogers, are pleased to announce the 'Double-A' Basketball Skills Camp to be held August 2-4 from 9am to noon at Rothesay Netherwood School.
The camp will be run by the Mill Rats own star guard and leading scorer, Anthony Anderson, and his younger brother, NBA player Antonio Anderson.
Antonio Anderson started all four years for the basketball program at the University of Memphis for legendary coach John Calipari, and has had stints in the NBA with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, and Charlotte Bobcats. In his junior year, he led Memphis to the NCAA title game while sharing the backcourt with the NBA's Most Valuable Player: Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls.
