Formula Zero Elite Camp Standouts!

The third annual Formula Zero Elite Camp was held in Phoenix for 30 elite high school and college prospects who desired to improve their game in a different way. We take a look at three event standouts at each level over the camp’s first two days.

The Formula Zero Elite Camp is an event level event hosted by Milwaukee Bucks’ All-Star and former Oakland (Calif.) and Weber State standout Damian Lillard. The three-day event was held at the The PHHacility in Phoenix with “Dame Dollar” and NBA player development coach Phil Beckner leading the on-court skills training for 30 elite players (actually 15 high school participants and 17 college level athletes) that wanted to get some insight on the training methods of one of the NBA’s hardest-working players who developed into an eight-time NBA all-star from humble beginnings.

Lillard played for the Oakland Rebels travel club in Northern California in the late 2000’s and was somewhat of an overlooked high school prospect in California’s famed 2008 class. He was a Cal-Hi Sports all-state selection as a senior, averaging 22.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists for a 23-9 club after committing to Weber State before his senior season began. From there is where Lillard’s game took off after developing a unique training method to excel while many of his peers in high school plateaued.

The slogan for Formula One is “Character, Hard Work and Accountability” and is designed for players with a relentless passion to do things differently in order to take their game to the next level. The training model around Formula One has molded one of the best players in the NBA and this elite camp is a way for him to share that passion and training method with young players who aspire to get to the level Lillard has with the Bucks and Portland Trailblazers over the years.

We take a look at six of the standouts from the three-day event in front of NBA decision-makers:
