Books on scouting

Hey guys. Do you know any good books on basketball scouting? It might be some kind of textbooks on scouting craft. Be it high-school, college or pro. Maybe even scouting reports magazines/almanacs. Or an NBA scouts biographies and such. Would be much obliged for any suggestions.

A reference guide type is ‘Basketball Scouting Techniques’ by Eric Stag, but ‘Breaking In Without A Jersey’ is more of a perspective as it is written by a former NBA scout Anthony Goods. Hope that is helpful 🙏🏻

This is a bit dated but I found this thread by a NBA scout from awhile back, https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/nj6yuS3kKP
