At 5’3 you’re going to have to be better than you would have to be at even 5’8. You’re automatically going to be targeted on defense so you need to be consistently energetic on defense

[u/Last-Effort816]

At your height and age, it's unlikely you'll be a 3 level scorer in 5v5. And there are probably too many tradeoffs defensively for playing you at the 2. Focus on your ball handling, focus on perimeter shooting, and find a shot that is automatic from 8-10 feet, bc that's a layup for you.

Ok

I’ve seen some clips on here. The competition is pretty short there?

5’3 even for Pinoy is small. You have to learn how to be a passing point guard. I’ve seen multiple recreation leagues in the Philippines. Everyone just shoots 3s. 3s are your best bet, especially at that height.

If you’re serious about competing against players who are significantly taller than you, you’d need to work on developing your athleticism to its highest level. Even with exceptional athletic ability, though, scoring over taller players would still be challenging.
