To prepare as well as possible for their rookie year, point guard Black and winger Howard can count on all the support and guidance of their coach, Jamahl Mosley, currently present in Las Vegas to lead the “Select Team”. American and renowned for his qualities as a trainer.
” He does not spare me, he is very much on me. It’s good to have a trainer who will walk into me and talk to me like that “says Anthony Black. ” He tells me to learn, especially from the old ones, to play liberated, to believe in myself, to slow down the pace a little, to read the game more and not to be in a hurry adds Jett Howard.
