Brewer's Big Summer Plans.
By Johnathan Kendrick
Ronnie Brewer came in to the summer league with an opportunity.
An opportunity to show he belongs in the Jazz rotation. Hampered by hamstring
and ankle injuries Brewer was limited to virtually no practice or game time.
If he wants to show the coaching staff and fans he has progressed and that he
belongs, it will have to be at the fall camp. That leaves the summer to get
ready. A summer that from the sounds of it will keep Brewer busy.
"First, I have to get my hamstring healed.」 Brewer tells me, but from the
way he is talking, it doesn't look like that should be too much of a problem.
At least he hopes not because his plans start at the end of July. "There is
an assistant coaches clinic at the end of this month in Las Vegas. A lot of
pros work out at it, D-Will went to it last year. I plan on going to it"
Brewer tells me "if I am 100 percent."
Brewer, arguably is the most athletic player the Jazz have on the roster. You
won't find him resting on his credentials though. After the clinic in Vegas
he will be heading to California. "I plan to go to Santa Barbara and work
out there with Hafa and his trainer. They have like this compound where you
do a lot of explosive stuff to help your athleticism. Lots of stretches,
lifting weights, conditioning, a lot of stuff to help your body endure the
NBA season." He doesn't mention any other names but adds that a few other
players will be joining the group.
If there is a question about Brewer, it's his shot. Not only is the stroke
unorthodox, due to a childhood injury - but people question the shots
consistency and range. Brewer who proved he can finish around the hoop has
not forgot about the jumper this summer. "I plan on going back to Arkansas
and continue to work on my shot, continue to lift weights and get stronger."
I was curious who was going to help him with his shot. The obvious answer
might be his NBA Alum father Ron Brewer Sr. "My dad does help a little bit.
I have also worked with some of the coaches here a lot. The majority is just
repetition, making it a habit, where it's an everyday thing, one motion.
It's repetition, you can do it by yourself, just get on a machine and shot a
bunch of shots."
Curiously I asked him to define "a bunch of shots." "At least 500-1000,
I've got to make at least 500-1000 so I will shoot a lot of shots each day."
The locker room was noisy and buzzing with media. Millsap had just had a
brilliant game that ended up earning him RMR MVP honors and 10 feet from
Brewer and myself there are 20 reporters huddled around Millsap asking
questions. I had to make sure I heard that last part correct. "Did you say
you are going to make 500-1000 shots, or take 500-1000 shots every day?"
"You could just take em" he responds slowly at first "but that doesn't mean
you're making them. I gotta MAKE 500-1000 shots a day." Brewer finishes the
statement smiling and with confidence. The kind of confidence he hopes to
bring to his shot and his game next year. The kind of confidence it sounds
like he is willing to work for.
