Future KU basketball player Mario Chalmers, a 6-foot-2 high school senior point guard from Bartlett High in Anchorage, Alaska, was impressive at last weekend’s NBA Players Assn. camp in Richmond, Va.
“Chalmers’ hands are the quickest in the class of 2005,” rivalshoops.com analyst Justin Young said. “He pickpockets opponents at midcourt nearly every game. Defensively, he’s as good as they get.”
Chalmers blocked a dunk attempt by 6-10 Amir Johnson, who is headed to Louisville.
“He met Johnson at the rim and sent the attempt, and the Louisville commit, away,” Young said.
