Some don’t think Ingram has gotten bigger, I would like to see if Lancaster thinks otherwise. |

I know Clint decently well and like him quite a bit. I'm working on a piece on Kuzma's development for The Athletic that he'll play a big part in.
I attended a 6:30am workout a couple months back with him and Miye Oni, who attends Princeton and is trying to work himself into the 2019 Draft conversation. I thought it was a very practical, useful workout based on Oni's game. He doesn't BS guys and I think he has a good understanding of what they need to work on to make it in the league. For example, if Oni's gonna play professionally, it's gonna be as a shooter, so much of the workout was focused on his ability to come off of pindowns, one-dribble pullups off of closeouts, etc. He'd give Oni a couple of points of emphasis like dipping his shoulder to curl tight around the pindown, and things like that.
Parks' workouts are more straightforward and he puts guys in scenarios that he'll be in in a game. That isn't to say that what Lancaster does is bogus - like I said, I don't have enough experience w/this to give a strong opinion in good conscience - but Parks' workouts make more intuitive sense to me. That's part of the reason why I'd like to talk to Lancaster, to hear his rationale for his methods. |

The drill where you’re attacking the hoop and have to grab the foam stick from the rim contester... I think that’s a great & practical drill - from an in game contester you get a lot of stimuli that you need to react + not panic at
The drill where Micah is jabbing at the ball handler’s dribbling hand with a stick, great and practical drill.
I just think that the super extra stimuli helps over-prepare players for what they get thrown at them in games
Also the Mikan drill under the hoop where you do reverse layups, why not add more stimuli to that. Place the player elevated in the air sitting on something, so they’re up at the height they would be on a jump, and they can just rep it without stressing their bodies. |

Miye's a GREAT kid and I'm rooting incredibly hard for him to make it. It turns out that I've coached a couple of kids that he's friends with, and we really hit it off. I'm gonna be helping him with film breakdowns of his game whenever I can next season. I really hope he can fulfill his dream. |

Doesn't Oni attend Yale, not Princeton?
Both are Ivy League schools, but don't like to be confused for the other? |

Same. He showed certain flashes from last season that stuck out for me in terms of the pull up jumper and some vision. It's good to know he's trying to get it all together too. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

Yes. I was writing about the Princeton Offense like 10 minutes ago and that was on my mind. That's my bad, and yes, Miye would probably not be thrilled at that mixup. |

it depends. you dont need to ask a trainer that. you need to ask a coach that.
i to this day still remember farmar with phil jackson. i remember he had an exit interview and phil told him what he needed to work on. and most of it was simple stuff we all remember the triangle phil pg was more or less just a floor spacer person for catch and shoot situations. if you dont have the shot move the ball around or occasionally pump fake and go. thats it.
but you would later here farmar talking about he was working on this or that or this or that. And I was thinking Jordan, they didnt ask you to do all of that. But to his point, for one you never know when you may be traded. so you should always work on everything to get better and you may need to be good at some other things on a different team with a different coach/roster.
But to phil's point, i dont need all of that. so stop wasting time and just make these two little things i need the best that they can be. |

Lancaster agreed to come on to discuss the work BI's done this offseason. Looking forward to it.
Let me know if you guys have any questions you'd like me to ask. I can't guarantee that I'll use them but I'll definitely consider them. |

I've always wondered where trainers come up with the unique skills workouts that they create. What inspires the particular workout routine. I remember reading about how outside the box Kobe thinks when he incorporated his skills training. |

I'd be curious to know how much of BIs training was bball-skills related vs strength/conditioning. If it was a mix of the two, or leaned more towards one specific area. |

Awesome GT! I'm definitely looking forward to that. I don't have anywhere near the experience these guys have but have dipped my toe in the skills training arena for a bit in the past.
Personally I think it's personal preference as far as what tools you use for development. A lot of it comes down to the individual being trained. There are one size fits all workouts that a lot of players can benefit from, but when you can tailor make a work out for an individual and the specific needs they have it really can make a world of difference.
As for the tools used, it's anything that can best simulate real game situations you need to improve on. I've used tons of different "tools", and even at some point I used a blind fold on my son to get him to stop looking down at the ball while he was dribbling(while he was moving down court). The speed that BI was going at in some of the videos I've watched doesn't seem ideal IMO, but then again skills training isn't how I put food on the table. I guess we'll see where B.I. is this year, I'm hoping they clean up his footwork some. _________________ "It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand.

No, this is the first new footage I've seen of him since like a couple months ago. Nice find
A little gimicky, but working on his shooting off the dribble can hardly be a bad thing, no? |

What makes these workouts gimmicky? I've always thought Micah was well respected until hearing what Lebron's trainer had to say. |

Not from that video no. That spin-shot could help him on turn-around Js, or any shot where your hips have to square up really quickly , and there’s maybe some balance-discomfort in how fast you have to square them going into your shooting motion . Could even help on floaters because your hips often turn in the air on floaters |

Really, I just want to know how they determine what is effective. How do they measure skill progression objectively, and how do they know that a specific imaginative drill truly and directly translates to on the court results.
Second, it seems like these trainers only get a limited amount of time with a trainer. I'd guess that certain drills need to be repeated after their done with a player. How does aftercare and follow up work? How do you maximize the amount of time you have with a player so that what's taught sticks (and isn't overridden by any habits or drills picked up subsequent to your time with them)? _________________ LakersGround's Terms of Service
