Arriving during the season at the Clippers, after a strange end to his adventure at the Nuggets, Bones Hyland begins to find his feet in Los Angeles, thanks in particular to his first “training camp” with his teammates.
“He’s fast, he’s talented” explains Nicolas Batum. “He’s a great basketball player, but last year maybe he was rushing a little too much. Now he still seems just as fast, but more in control, making better decisions. He worked on that. He watches videos, he tries to make better choices and he succeeds so far. I love watching him play. He is going to have a great season. »
To do this, the former Denver player worked on his decision-making in attack, but also on his defense.
Nah’Shon “Bones” Hyland thus ensures that he gained five kilos of muscle during the summer in order to better withstand the shock on this side of the field. Enough to make him lose his nickname “Bones”, then?
“I feel like I’m no longer the weak link in defense anymore. I increase my efforts on the same possession and try to improve on the details. That’s how I feel like I’m progressing. »
