There are several aspects involved in having a successful NBA career.
Honing your skill may be the most important one. That’s what will get you the furthest. In simple terms, the better you are at basketball, the further you’re likely to travel.
At the same time, there’s something to be said about work ethic. Pure tenacity counts for a lot in the NBA – both on and off the floor.
For example, look at Patrick Beverley. He’s never been the most skilled player in the league.
Still, he’s made a long career for himself with elite heart and hustle.
Could the Lakers trade him to the Washington Wizards for the more skilled Will Barton?
