Ray McCallum is working out with Russell Westbrook over the summer

What's the best way to get better at basketball? Playing with people who are better than you. 

Ray McCallum has taken that mentality to heart.

The Kings backup point guard will spend the summer working out with a point guard who is certainly more talented (and effective) than him. From the Kings' Twitter account:

Westbrook finished in the top five in MVP voting and is clearly one of the three or four best point guards in the NBA. Maybe he won't help his competition considering he and McCallum aren't on the same team, but working out with one of the best athletes, players, competitors in the NBA certainly can't hurt.
