“The game, now there’s others very, very watered down”. When you hear NBA stars like Matt Barnes exposing what AAU has allegedly become, you have no option but to trust alternate training options. Bringing one such to the table is a former Los Angeles Lakers star with $8 million in wealth, offering his guidance for the budding basketball stars at Dan Dickau’s training facility, Shoot 360.

For those unaware, Shoot 360, Spokane, operated by Dickau, states itself to be a premier basketball training facility that merges cutting-edge technology with expert coaching to enhance players’ skills, as per the claims on the official website. And now, putting these resources to use will be ex-Lakers star Adam Morrison. As per the article shared by SWX NonStop Local Sports, Dan Dickau has high hopes with his inclusion.

Adam Morrison will be hosting a special youth clinic at Shoot 360 on May 31. As per the SWX article, it’s open to boys and girls from 5th to 8th grade, and registration is already live through the facility’s website. The clinic is reportedly just the beginning of a series of summer events aimed at growing both skills and love for the game. And for Dan Dickau, this is more than just a camp—it’s a chance to spark inspiration in the young minds of tomorrow.

“I think there’s also something about paying it forward and seeing that next group of players, whether it’s a fifth-grade girl or a ninth-grade boy, where you really kind of impact the learning curve with the skill set that they have, and then you see the light bulb go off,” Dickau said. “All of a sudden, they’re starting to master that technique. I think having guys like Adam come in and run a clinic, maybe they can spur that development a little bit quicker and spur the love of the game as well,” he said.

Well, Morrison did have a promising start with 11.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.1 assists. He even stood 4th in the ‘Rookie of the Year’ race in season 2007-07.

However, despite a promising start, an ACL tear in his left knee in October 2007 disrupted his development and contributed to challenges in regaining his form in subsequent seasons. The injury also affected his postseason resume as he got to play just 2 games in the playoffs through his short-lived NBA career of 3 years. But let’s not forget he has 2 NBA championships in his name, so he carries that experience of being on the big stage. Something that budding basketball stars at Dan Dickau’s training facility could gain from. No wonder Dan was excited about Morrison’s inclusion.

If you’re passionate about basketball and looking to make the most of your summer, Dan Dickau and Shoot 360 have you covered. Well, at least that’s what former NBA star Dickau claims. “If you love the game of basketball, you want to come in and get shots as quickly as you can because summer gets so busy with family activities,” Dickau said. “You can come in and get 300- 400 shots in 30 minutes in one of our shooting stations. And our ball handling skills stations, you can get as much work and as many reps as you need to stay sharp with your game.”

That kind of focused training could be exactly what you need—whether you’re trying to shake off some rust before hitting Hoopfest or simply aiming to step up your skills. A full lineup of summer programs is listed on the Sports 360 website, making it easy to find the right fit. And when it comes to credibility, the names involved speak volumes. Let’s not forget that even before the NBA, Adam Morrison lit up college basketball with Gonzaga from 2003 to 2006, leading the nation in scoring and sharing national Player of the Year honors with Duke’s J. J. Redick.

Of course, Dickau himself brings just as much prestige. A standout at Gonzaga, he was a two-time First-Team All-WCC pick, WCC Player of the Year in 2002, and even earned WCC Tournament MVP honors. After college, he went on to play six seasons in the NBA. So if you’re looking for credible hands to mould the upcoming generation of players, Sports 360 could be the place.
