NBA Assistant Coach, Matt Hill, completed a series of coaching clinics in Australia.  The clinics were staged by Coach Liam Flynn basketball services.  This video is from his first clinic, in Sydney, on the topic of 'Player Development'.  

Matt is one of the best in the NBA in the area of Player Development.  He has worked with NBA All-Stars Victor Oladipo, Nikola Vucevic and Vince Carter, as well as, NBA First Team All Rookie Trae Young.

In this clinic, Coach Hill takes the audience through the Atlanta Hawks' philosophy on Player Development and how they instil this 'working' culture through their 'daily vitamins'.  He conducts workouts for both guards and bigs which feature ball handling, finishing, shooting and decision making.  He then takes questions from the audience on a wide range of subjects.  

The simplicity of the teaching and drilling makes this video a must watch for coaches from the youth level all the way up to the professional ranks.
