MVC coaches use NBA stars as teaching assistants

Zach Brown watched Golden State’s Klay Thompson score and score again. Smooth jumpers, layups, curling off screens.

Lots of movement. Lots of shooting and passing. Little dribbling.

“He used something like 19 dribbles to score 53 points,” Brown said. “It’s said that with two or less dribbles, more points are scored than in any other way. It shows that you don’t need to do too much. There’s a lot of people that have to go through the flow of the game and not chase it.”

College basketball coaches know their players watch the NBA. So they use that by showing their players the best of the NBA to encourage good habits and hard work.
