How did the day itself go/flow for the "fans"? Going on 8/8 just curious what the schedule was, where you watched from, how many ppl, etc. Thanks!

Great great stuff, thanks. Having Yard representation at these practices is like quenching our thirst in a desert.

Same here, will be attending with my wife. Really love that it will be there last practice before they have 2 weeks off so expecting Dan Hurley to push them to the limit!!

If I lived in CT and the practices were open to the general public I would probably go to everyone of them. Would love to get an in person look at some of the new players.

I have watched a lot of basketball and nothing beats watching these kids practice if you are trying to have any legitimate opinion on how they will fit. You see so much more in person especially how they carry themselves when they are not on the court. The way they warm up just so much of the little stuff that as a rabid fan I would find so interesting.

I enjoy practices more than games. It's the former coach in me.

All I know is that November feels like it is years away. I love the speculation and we sure do look good on paper.

A buff Alex so he can pound down low….and I do find it interesting that he changed his body in this way. We know he has a long reach so we may see a true stretch four with Alex this year. There is so much we don’t know about how Hurley sees the roles of each of his players.

Alex can be both a true powerforward and a stretch. Bulk up will provide rebounds and put backs inside while still able to drill the three outside and drive. He's an engineer;
he'll figure it out and no one will be pushing him around inside any more. Gotta love that kid's heart. This team is loaded. Just have to get it synchronized.

Doors opened at 10:30 and the actual practice started around 11. Two rows of sideline “courtside seats” maybe 50-60 people total. Practice was majority scrimmage on 7/25, Luke coached white team and Kimani coached blue. Sitting front row and hearing Kimani’s timeout “constructive criticism” was entertaining. After the scrimmage the tours began in groups before concluding with the lunch. Overall was a lot of fun, great picture/video opportunities other than during the practice session. Facility is amazing.

Can anyone just walk in or do you need some kind of pass/reservation??

Andre’s and Joey’s turn to practice with the team.

Meeting Andre on the floor must have been quite an awakening of what NC DNA in action looks like to the new players.

I'm guessing he just wears short sleeves in the summer like everyone else.

It's either from playing golf or he's always on the shirts team in the pick up basketball games down the park.
