In August, Kyle Collinsworth wrote in his notebook, that he will be in the NBA by the new year. Putting the words on paper put a sense of accountability in the forefront of his mind. Over the past several months Collinsworth practiced at extra shoot-arounds and focused on his detailed nutritional planning. Soon enough, the day Collinsworth worked and dreamed for had come.
After scoring a season high of 24 points, Kyle Collinsworth told me he has “done everything he can think of to get him in the spot he has now- so it feels good to have the hard work pay off”. The Dallas Mavericks noticed his contributions and signed him the very next day.
