What skills matter most for a basketball player development role?

I am interested in player development but I am not sure how much of the job is coaching, data/video work, relationship management and logistics. What should an early-career candidate be building?

Technical knowledge matters, but player development is also very relational. You need to communicate feedback, track plans, coordinate with coaches/performance staff and adapt to what each athlete needs. Video breakdown and clear written notes are useful skills to start demonstrating.
