In this week's episode of Hitting the Hardwood, Mitchell Hansen is joined by WNBA and NBA Skills Trainer Alex Bazzell, who is a co-founder of Through the Lens and is the husband of Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier.

The two discuss Bazzell's work with numerous NBA and WNBA stars as a skills trainer, his work with Through the Lens which he co-founded with former NBA player Carmelo Anthony, the WNBA season and what his thoughts have been on the year as a follower of the game and league, the Minnesota Lynx and the year they have been having so far, the potential of the Lynx the rest of the season and into the future, Napheesa Collier and the type of season she has been having, the work that went into getting Collier back onto the court and back to the All-Star and MVP level this offseason, the uncertainty of if Collier would ever be able to get back to the level of play we've seen her at earlier in her WNBA career and much more!
