Lakers' Rondre Jackson Wins NBA Player Development Award

Quote:

Jackson — who originally started with the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks in 2000 — has been a constant presence around the Lakers since joining the team nine years ago.

Player development remains a growing field, and it was practically nonexistent at the time of his hiring, so Jackson decided to make his role a bit of everything.

He educates players on finance, serving the community, dealing with the media and generally introduces them to life in the NBA. The only area he is careful not to tread into is basketball itself.

“You try to just be a go-to resource,” Jackson said. “The players have so many coaches on the court. This role kind of serves as a coach off the court.”


Interesting. I did not know such a role exists.

I'm glad it does. I know that rookies go to an NBA orientation program after the draft, but that's really not enough.

If no Lakers have gone bankrupt while this guy has been here, I guess he's doing his job then.
