In this episode, Sauce Mackenzie examines the state of youth basketball and asks the question few people are willing to ask:

If we have more money, more AAU teams, more trainers, and more exposure than ever before… why aren't we developing more elite players?

Sauce discusses player development, recruiting culture, international basketball, the role of adults in youth sports, and the philosophy behind We Don't Miss Skill Development. This is a passionate conversation about accountability, opportunity, and putting players first.
