Brandon Bracy: The Importance of Player Development
To some coaches and trainers, player development is simply putting athletes through skill development drills daily to improve on their weaknesses. To others player development can be more mental, as the player may have mental issues that prevents that player from reaching their full potential. As a trainer, a Varsity AAU coach for Team Rampage, and freshmen coach at Vallejo High School, there are definitely different ways to attack player development. As a trainer, player development should consist of more one on one time with that particular player, focusing on their weaknesses, as well as sharpening up their strengths. For example, NBA player development coaches spend countless hours working with players individually. This gives the players enough confidence to expand their moves in game situations. For coaches, player development changes as you focus more on the team concept. Coaches have to find the best way to develop each player to buy into the team way of doing things. For example, Cleveland Cavaliers Head Coach Tyronn Lue has been able to help Shooting Guard JR Smith, develop and mature as a player. The player development of JR Smith mentally, has enabled him to be a key factor on the Cavaliers championship run.
Player development can mean so many different things, but it is about the position that the coach and/or trainer is in. It is also about what situation the player lands in as well. Would Kobe Bryant be the same Kobe Bryant had he played his career in Charlotte? Would Kawhi Leonard been able to expand his game the way he did, playing behind Paul George in Indiana? Player development has to be able to work from all angles, in order for the player to reach their full potential."

"Averaging 13.5 points over four games and helping his team to a 2-2 record, UC Davis senior Brynton Lemar (San Diego, Calif./St. Augustine HS) earned Big West Men’s Basketball Player of the Week accolades.
The 6-4 guard scored a career-high 23 points to lift the Aggies to an 81-72 victory over Causeway rival Sacramento State on Monday at the new Golden 1 Center in the Capital City. He made 7-of-13 floor shots, including 3-of-5 from three-point range, and drained all but one of his seven free throw attempts to lead the way. He also contributed six rebounds, five assists and a blocked shot.
Lemar went on a personal scoring spree of 14 straight points midway through the second half to keep the Hornets at bay.
In three games at the GCI Great Alaska Shootout, Lemar keyed a 64-58 win against Drake after posting 17 points on 6-of-14 shooting. He had three treys for the second time during the week and again dished out fie assists.
For the week, Lemar was potent from three-point range, hitting 7-of-13 attempts for 53.8%. He also sparkled at the charity stripe, shooting 86.7% on 13-of-15 shooting.

NBA labor peace
"Nothing finalized yet, but labor peace looking more and more possible in NBA" -- David Aldridge
Excerpts:
"Agreements are also close on significant raises for NBA Development League players, from their current salary ceiling of $26,000 for the highest-paid players to up to $75,000, as the league hopes to continue developing the D-League. That will be concurrent with “two-way” contracts similar to those in Major League Baseball and the NHL that allows teams to send players on the parent team down to the minors. The player’s pay depends on whether he’s up or down. But a higher D-League salary will make those trips a little more palatable."
and
"Other issues, like the age limit for players entering the league, are still on the table. The league has long sought to increase the age limit from its current 19, and at least one year removed from one’s high school class, to at least 20 years of age. The union has talked about a “zero and two” setup, similar to that used by baseball -- players can enter the Draft out of high school, but if they choose to go to college, they have to stay in college at least two years (in baseball, it’s three years) before declaring for the Draft."
