A golden ticket, of sorts

Only 15 college players and 30 high school players receive invites to the camp, which is “an intense three-day training camp with Chris overseeing each session,” per Paul’s website.
Other college players who received invites include RJ Davis of North Carolina, Hunter Sallis of Wake Forest, Tyrese Proctor of Duke, and Kam Jones of Marquette. Indiana also has a high school player on its radar, Maleek Thomas, on the list of invitees.
An invite to this camp is not only a reflection of his production at Stanford, but also his potential as an NBA prospect. He’s a name that’s been popping up on some way-too-early 2025 Draft lists, and this invite only reinforces that he has the talent to make it to the next level.
Carlyle is the second Indiana player to be invited to the camp under Mike Woodson’s tenure. Jalen Hood-Schifino was also invited to the camp prior to his freshman season. As you know, he went on to be a first round pick.
