#172 - TURN Sports: CEBL, NBA, AAU talk and more with Eric Fawcett!
“That’s the thing about this league… (CEBL) whether if you are a basketball junkie or if you’re a basketball casual… the experience of the games is incredible and it is as fun of a sporting event that you will experience, so it’s a great league for everyone.” - Eric Fawcett
Eric Fawcett is a multifaceted basketball coach and analyst hailing from Edmonton, Alberta. Eric serves as the assistant coach for the Edmonton Stingers of the CEBL, where he combines his passion for coaching with his expertise in scouting and analytics. Beyond his coaching duties, Eric is a prolific writer whose work has been featured on NBA international properties including ESPN, Bleacher Report, CBS Sports and more. His deep understanding of the game shines through in his content and sports talk for the Florida Gators. Eric joins TURN Sports host Navin Ramharak to discuss all things basketball, including his journey to becoming a coach, his career in basketball so far, thoughts on the NBA playoffs, CEBL, AAU basketball, the upcoming Olympics and much more in this episode.
At the beginning of their discussion, Eric gives a quick update on what’s going on in his life on the sports side (2:05), whether becoming a Head Coach is the ultimate goal career-wise (4:07), how long he has been with the Edmonton Stingers (5:09), how often he uses Synergy (5:55), which basketball players and/or teams he supported growing up (7:43), the next generation of athletes in sports and the impact they are having (9:34), which player Eric believes has made the biggest impact on basketball in the last 10 years (12:17), and his thoughts on Bronny James and his potential future in the NBA (15:14). Next Eric and Navin talk about the ongoing NBA playoffs matchups (21:54), whether the discourse surrounding Rudy Gobert is fair (26:28), thoughts on the Derrick Lively and Daniel Gafford tandem for the Dallas Mavericks (29:17), an overview of the Edmonton Stingers and expectations for the season (31:05), his thoughts on AAU basketball (35:19), what would be his ideal pathway to building the most success for kids in basketball (37:54), whether European talent will continue to dominate in the NBA (40:41), and finally his thoughts on the upcoming Paris Olympics and how well Canada basketball will do at the tournament (42:18).
