He somehow is doing an awesome job, but I wonder what it is. Relentless marketing? Awesome training? I think he was thinking of sending Hill before the draft to a great NBA trainer I know out here (Guss Armstead), but I dont think he ever went. The usual statement in sports is that an agent can't make any GM select a guy, most teams want what they want. They say the key for agents is to prepare the player to put their best foot forward. Is pre-draft prep as important for hoops as it is for football? If so, I'm interested in who he sends his guys to. But congrats to this man for seeing the diamond in the rough!
