That's a complete webinar from Coach Sweeney
Interesting. Why only 8 times. I thought they'd practice a little more than that.
All the more reason to extend the season and make it longer while still keeping the full 82 games. Extra days off between games could give the teams more time to practice some more.
Where is this podcast from? Is the full one up anywhere?
NBA teams usually practice about 15 times per season. Regular season games are basically used as practice to figure things out.
15-16 or so sounds about right, but not 8. I assumed that they had practices when they had 2 or 3+ days off between games.
What is the name of the podcast Steph is on in those clips? Is it on Youtube? Do they put up the whole episode at all, or is it not up yet?
Steph back in thelab with the Guard Whisperer and VJ Edgecombe
I'm huge on Castle. He's going to be nasty. Just hope he gets along with Harper but don't think there will be an issue. They both want to win.
Hoping Castle's 3-point shot takes a considerable leap this offseason. That's the only thing holding him back from being an All-Star caliber player. Not expecting 40% obv, but even slightly below league average at 34-35% would be great.
I'd be happy with him developing a reliable FT line pull up, kind of how Dejounte did.
Teams will have the scouting report on him, everyone will try to stop him getting to the rim. If he can punish them from mid-range, he'll be good to go.
3PT shot will come over the next few years.
Teams had that report by New Years and were unable to stop him. By mid March, he was the primary option, was playing against starters, and was drawing the #1 or #2 defender. He was still getting to the cup. What the shot will do is increase his FG% at the rim, and probably his ASST% by getting him a cleaner lane to operate in, and maximize those trips to the rim.
Castle playing off the Harper/Wemby gravity is going to be brutal. He's a really, really good cutter and in finding spaces, as evidenced at UConn. Not to mention Fox. Teams won't be able to put two defenders on any of the guards or will have to scramble on kick-outs.
I mentioned it the other day, but this roster can be game-breaking even with some basic setups like D'Antoni's offense.
Add two elite shooters around Wemby while always having two elite paint penetrators on the floor and it's an unstoppable offense without even giving it much thought or going into more advanced schemes.
Haven't had a chance to watch all these videos yet (will try to later), but I think I heard Steph wants to do a bit of a behind the scenes podcast of training and locker room videos. Would locker room videos even be allowed?

Another one.
Coach has him watching Baron Davis tape.
Wow. Should be a fun video to watch later. I was a fan of prime Baron Davis.
I like how the Guard Whisperer looks like he runs a donut truck.
“The Taco Tickler” just didn’t have the same ring tbh… and implies a different line of profession.
Seeing Castle in multiple training blocks with the Guard whisperer and around the Summer League team is a testimony of the kid's work ethics and ambition. What an absolute home run of a pick for the Spurs..
Hopefully it's a Kawhi-esque development arc without the external baggage..
Had anybody actually heard of this “guard whisperer” guy before Steph?
Yes. He taught SGA pretty much everything.
have we had a high value young guard since TONY P? I mean u expect the whisperer to manifest for forbes, primo, wesley, branham, or vassel?
