Battle tested and road weary, the Las Vegas NBA Summer League chewed me up and spat me out. This is my second pilgrimage out to the desert for hoops but this trip was a little more special. So special in fact that I left behind my wife and fairly new child for a week in order to get a relatively front row seat to see my good pal Jon Goodwillie in action.
If you’re unfamiliar with the name, Jon is the Video Coordinator for the Toronto Raptors. This summer, however, he was the team’s Summer League head coach, a role held previously by esteemed current and former Raptors’ staffers like Jama Mahlalela and Jesse Murmuys.
