BYU's NBA-Ready Team with Coach Kevin Young

0:00On April 29, A.J. DiBonza, the top high school basketball prospect, picked BYU partly because of his head coach Kevin Young. Young spent years as an NBA assistant with the Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Sons, bringing pro-level know-how straight to college ball. Young ran practices that mirrored NBA schemes, getting the Bonza and the team ready for the big leagues right away. They drilled isolation plays, pick and roll sets, and quick early actions to score fast on the shot clock. DiBonza says it felt like pro-ball in college, with his coach putting them in real game spots to build those skills early. Fans and scouts see this as a smart move for a kid expected to go number one in the draft. Now with young leading, BYU looks set to bridge college and NBA smoother than most programs. DiBonza is already turning heads, proving that prep work pays off on the court.
