The Importance of Conceptual Development in the NBA

Slappin' Glass sits down this week with Miles Simon, the head coach of the G-League's South Bay Lakers, who shares his valuable insights on the art of player development. From individual skill-building to applying those skills in real game situations, Coach Simon touches on his experience working with players like Landry Fields, Michael Roll, and Alex Caruso, as well as tailoring their development to both their individual needs and their team roles.

Coach Simon emphasizes the importance of establishing a winning culture and fostering honest player development. Discover how his approach includes being transparent with players, holding them accountable, and building a strong team-first mentality, ultimately helping players with different aspirations come together and succeed on the court. We also dive into the complexities of defensive strategy in transition, focusing on the drag screen, delay, and pistol action during the always fun, "Start, Sub, or Sit?!"
