Saw Donovan Mitchell talking to a high school player about the isolation. Instead of going from the dead center directly at the rim to kind of take it as a as an angle when you're in an isolation game, so you have a better line to the hoop. What are the, secrets to to your isolation game that you would give to a young hooper?

1st off, you have to be able to to shoot it. I think any isolation player that's really good, they're able to shoot the jump shot. If that's a bit range or or or 3, you have to be able to shoot it. So the defense can respect shot. So they can just play you a little close.

Once you do that, it's all about reading out and reading hips. Okay, this guy has opened up left. Let me attack the outside hip. Okay, this guy has given me left. Okay, let me take left.

Let me, get into the pain and let my instincts take over. So.
