If you’ve ever played sports at any level, you know that the relationship between a coach and a player is one akin to one of a father and son. He’s also converting an outrageous 57.3 percent of his drives, per National Basketball Association player-tracking data, which makes him the league’s most efficient scorer on such plays (minimum five drives per night).
