Camp Runs Smoothly Amid Holdouts

| Patrick Cristi takes a 3-point jumper at mini-camp Friday |
The Dribbling Seamen had four players in attendance at Friday morning's mini-camp. The camp included drills, conditioning, and scouting. Even though many of the team's players are in holdouts or taking time off, the camp run on Friday morning seemed to have a feel that the four players there knew how important it would be for them to be ready for Sunday.
Before the session was open to the media, the team executed more drills, which included cone drills. The NIA has acquired this photo of the cone drill courtesy of Dribbling Seamen member Patrick Cristi.
The next drill featured two shooters who alternated hoops and two rebounders. The success rate on the shots is not where the team wants it to be quite yet, but there are still times to practice before the team hits the court this weekend. You can view Sean Szarnych and Patrick Cristi compete in the drill here and Caleb Wragge and Aaron (A.J.) Ligeralde here.
The drill was a more all-encompassing shooting drill, as the team really wanted to focus on conditioning and 3-pointers. As the team has publicly stated, most their offense will be run on 3-pointers. With that will created a lot of rebound opportunities that the conditioning will help support. Whichever player of the two competing reached seven 3-pointers made second, would have to run laps on the track after the drill was completed. Ligeralde/Szarnych and then Cristi/Wragge run laps.
Ligeralde took some time to do some video scouting on his phone after camp had concluded. The team spark plug is looking for a way that his squad can gain any advantage over their opponents. This amount of work has never been seen in a CUI basketball league. This puts the Dribbling Seamen in a great position to take some shots at some unsuspecting teams. Fantasy owners should look to this crew of athletes for sleeper picks.

This is very inspiring. Never in my life have I seen such hard work and dedication. I don't even think the best NBA teams practice like the Dribbling Seamen.
ReplyDeleteThe work I have seen so far can only translate into flawless execution. There's no way around it. It's only a matter of time.
