Players believe that in order to play at the next level they only have to have a good skill set on the court. Wrong. Coaches/Scouts that come to watch your games are not just watching you “game” they’re watching you’re ENTIRE game. You NEVER know who’s watching.
Breaking: Jalen Green, the nation's No. 1 recruit, is informing colleges that he plans to enter the NBA/G League's professional pathway program, per @DraftExpress.
He's expected to be one of the front-runners to become the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA draft.
I’m going to say this with the utmost respect... just because you’re a good HS basketball player doesn’t mean you’ll play in college.. the intramural leagues at universities are filled with all district guys. There’s a lot of pressure on some kids to play in college..
Player I was recruiting was non responsive, he told me he was waiting for D1/D2 offers, so I moved on.
Recently contacted me asking if he had a spot after 3 months.
I honestly feel bad for him. But this happens all the time, at all levels.
KIDS, GO WHERE YOU ARE WANTED! 🏀
Adversity is part of this game & life, THINGS are not always going to go our way. Every kid dreams of being MJ, Kobe or LBJ...Unpopular opinion, NOT EVERY KID IS CAPABLE OF BEING A SUPERSTAR. Role players are essential to any team, doesn’t make you any less of a player.
Trying to teach & get my kids to understand “mental toughness” that when your shots not falling & you’re off your game, doesn’t then mean that you mentally breakdown. That’s when you as a player have to be mature enough to put your pride to the side & do what’s best for the team.
Unpopular realistic opinion, not everyone is capable of being a superstar. Role players are essential to any team, being a role player doesn’t make you any less of a player.
