The men’s basketball program hosted the media for the first 30 minutes of its first open practice in the Dail Center Tuesday.

The Pack opened practice with perimeter shooting drills headed by its assistant coaches. It went on to stretching and other warm-ups before proceeding on to full-court shooting drills.

Here’s a clip-by-clip breakdown of what you’re watching. While running a set on offense, sophomore Lorenzo Brown threw an alley-oop pass to senior C.J. Williams for the finishing dunk.  The Wolfpack then incorporated defensive pressure to its drills by running isolation exercises, many of which turned into defensive struggles and brought out the emotion of the Pack, including a matchup between junior Scott Wood and sophomore Ben Amos that resulted in Amos finishing a turn around jump shot on Wood. When the play was over, Wood threw the ball to the ground in frustration. Gottfried motivated his players to dig to a second level of intensity during a rebounding drill by asking his players “Who wants the ball?” repeatedly. During another run of the rebounding drill, Williams finished a baseline drive on Brown with another dunk. Another matchup between Williams and Brown resulted in a layup from Brown off a fake to his outside shoulder and drive inside. Williams was also successful when matched up with Amos by driving baseline and finishing with a layup. When junior Deshawn Painter ended up on the offensive end of the drill, he sent freshman Thomas de Thaey flying with a pump fake.

The media accessible portion of practice closed with a one-on-one scoring drill where Brown forced freshman Jaqawn Raymond into a difficult runner toward the basket.
