NBA
/ FOREIGN PROS
I have spent
three summers working at Attack
Athletics with the renowned Tim Grover and current Dallas
Mavericks player development coach Mike Procopio. I worked with
many NBA players during those years. I also spent a lot of
time working with foreign pros. I spent a lot of time with
Detroit Pistons guard Will Bynum. I created defensive and
offensive player development plans for him. We watched
hours and hours of video to find ways to improve his
game.
I
also suggested that he begin to make some adjustments to his
shot. Watching hours of video I saw some adjustments he could
make to improve his shot. This past year his 3 point shot percentage
was 32% compared to career percentage of 27% I believed in
Will & he believed in me, and I still feel the best is yet
to come for Will.
I am
able to do similar things for any player interested currently
playing in the NBA or professionally overseas. I am able
to fly to you for workouts and to go over video and player
development plans. It is not about the one time workout but the overall
day to day, week to week, improvement. Will show serious players
some of the development plans we used, video, etc...
I
spent three years working former Syracuse Orange star Brandon
Triche. When I started working with him, nobody believed
he could play pro basketball. Three years later he
become a star in the Final Four and is currently playing
professional ball in Italy. We are halfway to achieving
our goal of him playing in the NBA. We will be working and
improving his game during his off-season. I believe he can
follow the same path as Will Bynum who played overseas for two
years before signing with the Pistons.
I am
able to do similar things with current college players with the
potential to be drafted or play overseas. I will
prepare you for the college game but also start developing you
to play professionally.

ELITE
HIGH SCHOOL
I
have worked with a number of elite high school players while
working at Attack in Chicago, some of them are now playing in
the NBA. I have also worked with a number of elite players
in Rochester to help them achieve the division one
level. Just to name a couple of players: Javon
McCrea, currently at the University of Buffalo; Mandell
Thomas currently at Fordham University.
I
have also worked with a number of great high school players who
are currently playing division three college basketball. Phillip Pellegrino who
is playing at Alfred
University and Ben Bobo who is currently playing at St. John
Fisher College.
I
am able to do similar things with great players currently
at the middle or high school level looking to further
themselves as a players. If they want to reach that next
level, I have and know how to get them there.
