Kelvin Sampson on the need for kids to play 5 on 5, not just train 1 on 0
• Decision Making
• Application of skills
• Competition

• Defending a live body
Hard to simulate those things

Basketball is played WITH the basketball 5% of the time.
One of my favorites quotes from Billy Donovan is:
‘The other 95% of the time most players spend trying to get the basketball’.
Players also can’t conceptualize the amount of time they have the ball in their hands in a game. They think it’s exponentially more than it actually is.
The ball is glorified, and rightfully so, but what are we doing with the other 95%?
Do be ELITE REQUIRES impacting the game without the basketball.
The video below is a MUST WATCH for all players and coaches 👇

In a year of ridiculously loaded All-American perimeter players, the guy that probably got overlooked the most (including by me) relative to RT11, Buzz, Nolan, Jack D, Josiah, Marcus, Schner etc was @JRhode_1.
Rhode showed last night he is an absolutely elite player.
