Got to see 6’0 G Charlie Nyvall (30/31) this weekend go for 30 points playing U15 Gold

Impressed with his polished shot, size and ability to create with few dribbles. A true combo guard who needs little space to get into his shot, with a work ethic to match.

Got to see Ridley College prep 6’5 Adriel Bouguep (2028) in a workout competing against a pro

Impressed with his skill set, high motor, intensity each rep and willingness to accept challenges without fear.

College coaches should keep him on their radar for this upcoming season

[Harp @3SeedTraining]

Working on getting into open space when snaking & not coming to complete stop when observing.

At times for undersized guards it’s about beating the trail man to spots rather than putting them in jail as length can make the recovery easier for defender.

[Harp @3SeedTraining]

Warm Up - Finishing | @KyrieIrving

• Notice he works on multiple variations of finishing off 2 & 1 foot

• spins the ball multiple different ways / different angles (not just regular wrist motions)

• a lot of ball manipulation. Ball is active throws the defense off
