North Carolina sophomore Harrison Barnes is not a point guard. He does not play one on TV. But he will be one at the CP3 Elite Guard Camp that begins June 10 in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Barnes is one of 17 college players invited to the camp, sponsored by Nike, that bears the insignia of NBA all-star Chris Paul and is designed to help high school and college players develop their point guard skills.

Most of the collegians who'll attend play the point guard position regularly, including Sporting News All-American Jordan Taylor of Wisconsin, developing Louisville junior Peyton Siva and Barnes' teammate -- the Tar Heels' real playmaker -- Kendall Marshall.

But like former Duke star forward Kyle Singler, who attended the camp last season, Barnes reached out to Nike to ask if he could be considered for the CP3 camp to help him improve his ballhandling and passing skills.
