NBL Superstar Bryce Cotton Draws NBA Comparisons
Coach Wells highlighted Cotton’s unselfish play style and drew comparisons to NBA legend Tim Duncan. During a post-game press conference, he noted, “We’re still trying to figure out those offensive roles, and Bryce is one of the most unselfish superstars.” Wells emphasized Cotton’s willingness to share the ball, likening his playmaking to that of Duncan, a hallmark of the Spurs’ success.
Coaching Influences and Team Strategy
Wells, in his second season with Adelaide, acknowledged his influences from coaching in the NBA. He referred to working alongside Quin Snyder while at the Utah Jazz, noting the importance of using film sessions for teaching moments. “After the Sydney loss, we had a really long film session. I decided to teach through video, since we couldn’t practice much that day,” he explained.
