Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

I saw this on KSR and followed the link. Cal has been showing some interest in Dwight. This summer Dwight has been blogging his camp experiences for SLAM. He is a really well spoken kid and gives an interesting insight into all the skill camps that go on. He also witnessed JC's dunk on Lebron.

Goodbye Preconceived Notions

Muchas gracias, davw83, insightful information. Several responses: Dwight Powell has exceptional control of the English language and elevated writing skills for one so young — perhaps that’s the benefit of a Canadian education, there is considerable difference. His long term interest might be best served by attending Harvard if offered. This, in my mind, laid to rest the concept that summer camps were virtual “meat markets” with teen-aged bodies and talents on display for the benefit of college coaches, agents, etc. From Powell’s description the experience is surely educational in nearly all aspects: sex ed, substance abuse, behavior, role modeling, goal setting, and, of course, improved basketball skills. I’ll follow Powell’s career with a heightened interest.

"The prosperity of commerce is now perceived and acknowledged by all enlightened statesmen to be the most useful as well as the most productive source of national wealth, and has accordingly become a primary object of its political cares."

--Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 12, 27 November 1787
