NBA Draft Recap

At 7 feet 3 inches (2.2 meters), and an 8 foot wingspan, it is to see why Wembanyama was selected first overall by the Spurs. Wemby has had success in his home country of France this past season averaging 21.6 points and 10.4 rebounds.

Scoot Henderson, Brandon Miller, and the Thompson Twins are other intriguing prospects. Watching these players adjust to the NBA and become acclimated with their new roles will be entertaining to watch develop.

Mirotic has had a remarkable run with Barcelona. It will be interesting to see where he ends up next.

Sloukas has shown a desire to stay with Olympiacos, but has also expressed frustrations with some problems.

The Corner 3 is a shot that every basketball player needs to be able to make. The Corner 3 has even been described as “the most important shot in basketball” because of the pressure it puts on the defense.

Be somebody that makes things happen.

1 Skill to Work on:

Form Shooting. Begin each basketball workout by making 5 shots at 5 spots right under the hoop.

Focus on your balance, having your elbow in, and holding your follow through.

Do this before you start your workout.

In life, we can “form shoot” by studying for a test, by preparing for important converations at work, or by doing extra preparation before our day begins.

1 Headline to Learn From:

Cam Whitmore was supposed to be a top 10 pick in last night’s draft, but he ended up sliding all the way to pick #20. As an 18 year old, he handled this professionally and will use it as motivation. When something in our life does not go according to plan, we must learn to respond, not react. Pause, take a breath and consider the situation. We are all making progress, we must be patient with ourselves on this journey of life.

Whitmore, projected in top 10, not 'fazed' by slide

The Corner 3 of our newsletter will be knowledge and insight that can help elevate your game and your life.
