Today’s guest is Michael Visenberg, Scout & Basketball Database Manager at ProInsight, a leading company in grassroots basketball scouting.


Michael grew up in Toronto, Canada where he began projecting future NBA All-Star lineups and participating in mock drafts from a young age. With his extensive knowledge and expertise in the field, he plays a crucial role in identifying and evaluating emerging basketball talent.


He has covered the top events around the world including the Nike Hoop Summit, Adidas Global Nations, the Nike Global Challenge, the Les Schwab Invitational, Border League and many others.


Michael is a basketball scout, a sports writer, a prospect analyzer, a draft guru and I'm sure we could come up with many more labels by the end of this episode!


Today we talked about:

  • When he first started falling in love with the NBA
  • His first NBA Draft analysis that opened the door for business
  • His scouting workflow and how he organizes his notes
  • Weighing analytics & measurements versus the eye test
  • How many games he watches before he has a good feel
  • Defining athleticism and what "being athletic" really means
  • What BAM Testing is & why they use it in pre-draft combines
  • How deep NBA teams really dive for player intel
  • Which stats & movements he uses to analyze defense
  • His reaction to the 2024 NBA Draft (some sleepers)
  • and much more
