Mike Dunleavy Jr. auctioning one-hour shooting session for charity

Have you ever wanted to get some shots up with a former top-five NBA draft pick? Mike Dunleavy Jr. is auctioning the opportunity.

The Duke product is auctioning off a one-hour personal shooting session with proceeds going to charity.

Proceeds from the shooting session with Dunleavy Jr. will benefit the Read Ahead program. Read Ahead is a reading-based mentoring program launched in 1991.

The bidding for the auction closes on June 30 at 4:21 PM EST. The shooting session can take place in New York or San Francisco. According to Charity Buzz, the hoops experience has an estimated value of $2,500.

Over his career, Dunleavy Jr. shot 44.1% from the field and 37.7% from beyond the arc. After getting drafted No. 3 overall in 2002 by the Warriors, Dunleavy Jr. averaged 10.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists in five seasons with Golden State.

In 2007-08 with the Indiana Pacers, Dunleavy Jr. averaged a career-high 19.1 points on 47.6% from the field and 42.4% from beyond the arc.

After his retirement as a player, the NBA veteran returned to the Golden State Warriors as a pro scout. Dunleavy Jr. quickly rose through the Warriors’ front office ranks. He currently serves as assistant general manager under Bob Myers.
