As the video coordinator, Yim is responsible for going through countless hours of game and practice footage with his staff, which is then presented to the coaches and players to pinpoint the team’s strengths and weaknesses.

There’s the old adage that success is a product of both preparation and luck and for Yim’s journey so far, these words would seem quite apt.

If you walk around the Trail Blazers’ locker room a general consensus tends to form about the team’s video coordinator.

“Yim is Jonny-on-the-spot with everything,” Trail Blazers’ All-Star point guard Damian Lillard says. “If I need clips from a game or a practice, he’s always prepared. On top of all that, he has a great personality. He doesn’t take anything too personally and he’s one of those guys you should never take for granted.”

“Jon is a very hard worker and he’s reliable,” Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts says. “He’s always prepared and thinks outside the box. That’s why he went from being an intern to running the department in such a short period of time.”

Ever since the NBA amended a ruling that would allow players to watch film during games before the 2012-13 season, the Trail Blazers have been employing the use of iPads for players to study anything from defensive coverages to offensive sets during games — a strategy that other teams have yet to embrace on the same level as Portland. Yim plays an integral part in this process as he prepares personalized clips for players to review, even breaking down footage from the game they are currently playing.
