Lovell emphasizes double team passing development during offseason workouts
Summary

Coaches are prioritizing passing drills to help a player manage double teams more effectively. Lovell noted that the emphasis stems from film review, which highlighted a tendency for the player to commit turnovers when fatigued under defensive pressure. To address this, the team focused on simulating double teams during offseason practice sessions. By forcing the player to handle high-pressure situations repeatedly, the coaching staff aims to refine decision-making and passing accuracy. The goal is to ensure the player remains composed and productive when opposing defenses commit extra bodies to defend them during active play.
