2027 Matt Robinson from @kingschoolbball, he played his AAU ball for @rensunited where he averaged 13 PPG across the live periods. Matt is a 6'0 guard that is lightning quick and a terrific defender. He finishes through contact very well and has a quick first step which helps him get downhill. He has a great pull up midrange game and continues to work on his outside shot. The rising senior will be a big contributor for King this upcoming season. He boasts a 3.3 GPA. College coaches should get involved now!! @_MattRobinsonn

Great for players to hear. @dallasmavs coach Jared Dudley how to impact winning in a world that is obsessed with scoring: 🔒 Defend Multiple Positions 🛞 Drive and Kick Decision Making 🎯 What's Your One Outlier Trait? Social media glorifies the 20+ point per game scorer. But most teams already have one, or two of those guys. What they’re really searching for are the players who dominate in the margins: boxing out, sprinting back, diving on the floor, the second effort, the winning habit repeated over and over again. Your value isn’t determined by how many minutes you get. It’s determined by what you do with the minutes you've earned. Because that impact creates trust. And that trust creates opportunity. And the players who consistently help the team grow usually end up growing themselves.
