Drew Hanlen is the worst “trainer” in the League

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

”Fixed” Markelle Fultz’s jump shot


Has been “training” RJ Barrett




Trained Gordon Hayward for his comeback last season

Tries to take credit for Jayson Tatum even though his father trained him most of his life

I’m definitely not giving a 5’7 white guy credit for Joel Embiid’s success

NBA players need to stop paying guys like him $10k a month to get their rebounds and get with a real one like Rico Hines

Success stories include Pascal Siakam, Kevon Looney, and countless others

Bradley Beal has done tremendously working with Hanlen.

Brad Beal was a Ferrari that Hanlen got the keys to. Same with Tatum. Both were high potential NBA talent when they got with him.

Wiggins been posting videos with him every summer. nikka still sucks. That said I think trainers are overrated. They help but I doubt theres much difference between them. Any high school coach with 3 hrs a day with a guy can get you better

That’s a fact, the difference is the best ones hold guys accountable and actually critique their game. Most of these new age guys are just there to rebound and give them good clips for IG. It’s a waste of money

Wiggins has no heart. That's what it is.

I see what OP is saying but you keep moving the goalposts. When a player who worked with him is good then you saying “b..b..b..b he was already good” but if a mediocre player trained with him then you blame the trainer

RJ Barrett was a top 3 pick and was looked at as a number one overall coming out of high school. Gordon Hayward was an all star. Andrew Wiggins was a number one pick.

They’re underachievers if anything, not mediocre. Even if they are mediocre, there are dozens of articles calling him a guru, so why can’t he make them better?

Thing is thats a large part of it. No matter who youre working with youre taking hundreds of shots and just need someone to pass the ball and rebound. My son has worked with trainers and its a lot of that too. At his age his guy worked a lit on shot mechanics and keeping him consistent in those things as well as pushing him on things. It helps but a lot of guys can teach shot mechanics and dribble moves

i much prefer hanlen to chris brickley who comes off like a scam artist and major culture vulture.

If he’s such a scam artist then why would players continue to go to him? Don’t you think players would find out he’s a scammer and would stop going to him

nah man, the guys that get paid millions of dollars for their profession know less than us about how they should train themselves

 

[CantStop]

Rico Hines is legit. Look what he’s done for Siakam and Thomas Bryant. He’s taken guys who people counted out or never even heard of and made them into legit good-great players. What has Drew Hanlen done? He’s a paid rebounder. FOH.

There is no way I am asking training advice from someone who looks like this, looks like one of those hypebeast kids from Beverly hills

Stop hating

NBA players trust him for a reason. Just because you’re being trained doesn’t automatically mean you gonna be a star.
