Ray Michael McCallum, Jr. (born June 12, 1991) is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the Sacramento Kings of the National Basketball Association (NBA). In the 2012–13 NCAA Division I men's basketball season, he was named the Horizon League Player of the Year after leading the Horizon League in scoring at 18.7 points per game and guiding the Detroit Titans to a berth in the 2013 National Invitation Tournament. McCallum also averaged 4.5 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game. On June 27, 2013, he was selected in the second round (36th overall) by the Sacramento Kings in the 2013 NBA draft.
High school career
The first two years of McCallum's high school career were spent at Bloomington High School North in Bloomington, Indiana. He then attended Detroit Country Day School in Detroit, Michigan for his final two years. In McCallum's senior season in 2009–10, he led Detroit Country Day to a state championship; in the final against J. W. Sexton, they won 71–47 behind McCallum's 32 points, eight rebounds and seven steals. For the season he averaged 22.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game.
McCallum placed third in voting for the Michigan's Mr. Basketball award, was named to the All-State Dream Teams produced by the Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News, and was a consensus Top 50 player coming out of high school. Parade magazine named him to their All-American team, as did McDonald's. McCallum played in the 2010 McDonald's All-American Game and recorded four points, two rebounds and one steal.
Considered a four-star recruit by ESPN.com, McCallum was listed as the No. 5 point guard and the No. 17 player in the nation in 2010.
College career
McCallum chose to play at the University of Detroit Mercy for his father, Titans head coach Ray McCallum. He was "one of the most highly-recruited players in school history" and passed on scholarship offers from schools such as UCLA, Arizona, Oklahoma and Florida.
In his rookie season in 2010–11, he became the first player from the University of Detroit to make an all-Horizon League Team as a freshman, where he earned second team honors. McCallum led his team in scoring (13.5) assists (4.9 apg) and total steals (54). CollegeInsider.com named him to their Freshman All-America squad, and his 157 assists during the regular season was second in the NCAA among freshmen. On February 16, he almost recorded a triple-double against Youngstown State with 14 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists.
McCallum followed up his strong freshman campaign with a strong sophomore year effort. He averaged 15.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.6 steals per game en route to first team all-conference honors. Detroit finished with a 22–14 overall record, making it to the first round of the NCAA Tournament. McCallum was named a Bob Cousy Award Final 20 honoree.
In 2012–13, his junior year, McCallum became the first player since 2000–01 to be named the preseason Horizon League Player of the Year and to earn that honor during the postseason as well (Detroit's Rashad Phillips had previously been named both). Even though he led the conference in scoring at 18.7 points per game, Detroit finished in second place in the regular season, did not win the conference tournament championship, and were thus relegated to a National Invitation Tournament (NIT) berth. They finished the year with a 20–13 overall record.
Professional career
On April 27, 2013, McCallum announced that he was leaving Detroit after his junior season and that he was officially declaring himself eligible for the 2013 NBA draft. He was subsequently selected with the 36th overall pick by the Sacramento Kings. On July 18, 2013, he signed with the Kings after averaging 12.6 points in the 2013 NBA Summer League. On November 21, 2013, he was assigned to the Reno Bighorns. Six days later, he was recalled by the Kings. On January 13, 2014, he was reassigned to the Bighorns. On January 21, 2014, he was recalled by the Kings. On April 2, 2014, he recorded a career high 27 points in a 107-102 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
In July 2014, McCallum re-joined the Kings for the 2014 NBA Summer League as he went on to win the Championship Game MVP after helping the Kings win the title.
