ALB Bearcats Pod: NBA Player Development Coach Joey Burton

by Ryan Roberts

This week's At Large Bid Bearcats Podcast features NBA Player Development Coach Joey Burton.

Burton has spent time with over 20 different NBA players and is currently the development coach for Georges Niang, Edmond Sumner, and Trey Lyles.

Over the summer, 6-foot-11 Cincinnati forward Vik Lakhin spent time with Burton to help improve his shooting ability from outside. Lakhin is currently averaging 15.6 ppg, 8.4 rpg, and is shooting 40% from beyond the arc through 8 games.

Burton gave a behind scenes look at Viktor's work ethic and what went in to him becoming a 40% three-point shooter.
