Calloway begins pro career on a scoring tear

He’s a professional scorer.

Through three games, Jacob Calloway is showing his first professional basketball team they were smart to pick him up.

Calloway, a 2015 Thunder Mountain High School graduate who went pro this summer, scored 24 points as his Pully Lausanne Foxes defeated the Lugano Tigers 76-68 on Saturday. The 6-foot-8 forward scored 16 and 29 points, respectively, in the two games leading up to Saturday.

Calloway and the Foxes (3-0) hit the hardwood again this Saturday against Union Neuchâtel Basket.
