Peck will be a member of the Portland Trail Blazers coaching staff in Sin City, and hopes to further his understanding of Stott's system before entering his second season in the NBADL. Peck spoke with RidiculousUpside.com and explained his upcoming summer plans. "I will be assisting on the bench with the Blazers in Summer League. I'm anxious to spend some more time with the staff in Portland to expand my feel for coach Stotts' system." Peck said. Peck enters a second year with the stampede, after leading the successful Findlay Prep program for five seasons prior to his arrival. Peck has developed tremendous talent during his time as a head coach at both levels, and looks to continue doing so in the NBA D-League. After withstanding the initial learning curve, Peck is ready to use every resource available to him. By doing so, the former UNLV video coordinator will expand upon his coaching knowledge, and further develop his craft. Last season, Peck had the opportunity to coach Will Barton , Nolan Smith , Victor Claver and Joel Freeland . Each player spent time with Peck's club on assignment, and also contributed in some fashion for the Blazers. It is an ever-growing trend in the NBA for teams to send players back and forth between their NBADL a ...
