One trait in successful basketball players that is vital, but not often talked about, is perseverance. Being able to build a career through the years while navigating obstacles is as important as learning to shoot or play defense. Oregon State’s Roberto Nelson has navigated obstacles his whole college career, and now he looks forward to […]

In many ways, the pre-draft process is a battle for recognition for many players who have all had successful college careers, but for some reason or another, they didn’t get the notice they probably deserved. South Dakota State’s Jordan Dykstra is fighting to be noticed now, and the teams that do notice him will soon […]

The team has made 7 NCAA Tournament appearances during that time, including a run to the Elite 8 in 2008 with Stephan Curry leading the way. The hallmark of the team’s consistency has been the development of its […]

Sometimes it is hard to think of a player who is 6’10, 250 pounds flying under the radar of professional teams, but in many ways, D.J. Shelton out of Washington State has. A strong, athletic forward who can score around the basket or knock down perimeter shots is always going to get looks, but Shelton […]

The road to the NBA from college is often the same for most players. Combines, workouts, and training sessions are all part of the usual path, but actually playing in a real game environment isn’t part of it. Not only is St. Joseph’s Halil Kanacevic getting to take part in a real basketball environment, he […]

The foundations of what makes a kid the player he becomes can be very diverse, though working towards the same goal. Devon Collier is from the Bronx and he learned the game playing on the city playgrounds and at legendary courts such as Dyckman, Rucker Park, and I.S. 8. Playing in New York City taught […]

The choice players make when they a pick a school to play for can have a positive or negative impact on their development as players.
