In addition to the typical scouting and game plan preparation duties, Pack is responsible for mentoring the Clippers’ young point guards. The Clippers have an experienced veteran starter in Mo Williams, along with two rookies backing him up in Eric Bledsoe and Willie Warren.
“The young guards that are just coming in do not know the league yet, so I do a lot of film work and different things with those guys,” Pack said.
Since that point, Bledsoe and Pack have become nearly inseparable, breaking down film together, perfecting Bledsoe’s jump shot and discussing the mental aspects of the game.
“[Pack] has helped me out with everything, teaching me things I will use the rest of my career,” Bledsoe said.
The improvement in Bledsoe’s game has been tangible. He has been a reliable presence off the bench and started when necessary.
“Eric Bledsoe, compared to where he was over the summer to now, is a completely different player,” said Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro. “Robert has spent a lot of time with him, and it shows.”
