We are within a month of the NBA season fully beginning to take shape. At the end of September, NBA training camps will begin and we will start to hear the age-old tales of the summer.
Some players will be in the best shape of their lives, ready to advance their careers to another level. Other players will have added that missing dimension (or six) to their game, whether that is new-found ball-handling skills or an increased focus on defense. Finally, there will be the big man with the corner-three waiting to be unleashed. A shot the big man claims he has been able to make all his life, but after a summer of practice the coach is finally willing to let him let it fly from deep.
