Todolama was a near-top-tier NBA agent. He currently held the representation contracts for seven NBA players, including Baron Davis and Ricky Davis. Marcus Banks was a player he had just signed this year.
He had high hopes for this point guard from Nevada, believing the strong Marcus Banks had the potential to become a Gary Payton-type player.
In fact, that was how he pitched him. Marcus was currently projected as a lottery pick in this year's draft.
But he was missing that explosive factor.
NBA teams valued his pro-readiness more than his potential. For a rookie, this was by no means a good thing.
So, he had Marcus Banks train at Grover's training camp, hoping to get a boost from Grover's immense influence and take things a step further.
