Calloway currently ranks 10th in scoring average, 7th in assists, 4th in steals, and 4th in free throw percentage among league leaders.
"Earl is one of the most explosive point guards in the D-League, and in my opinion he is a top prospect for a long career in the NBA," said Mad Ants President Jeff Potter. "He has been a great player for the Mad Ants, but better yet he has been a great person to have as a part of our organization. We are very grateful that he has played such a huge part in our inaugural season."
Calloway came off the bench during the first two games of the season for the Ants but had a break out performance on November 29th where he scored 24 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists to help him win his starting position.
