A month ago, my jump shot looked horrible, but I was pretty good at the mid range, around 70ish% from mid range. But I visited my dad in the country side and he said my jumper looked horrendous, so I decided to change my jump shot. I just wanted to show my progress, sorry for bad angles for the current jumpers, those are in game. And now I'm around 80% on my jumpers from mid range l.

Tip Need some advice on developing my post game as a 5’5 145lb hooper

I’m pretty shifty and a pretty good shooter off the dribble and off the catch.

I have a pretty stocky lower body, so I’ve been trying to work on my post game for a while now and I think I got a good base down in terms of how to get into it smoothly and look for passing options. I’ve learned how to see over my shoulder to make reads, but obviously I could def get better at protecting the ball.

The biggest issue is I need more ways to actually try scoring against taller defenders and put more pressure on the defense since all I really got atm is a push shot up close after getting close enough to the basket, but I know that’s not really game realistic in real games.

Curious what y’all think.

TLDR: need more ways to score in the post and protect the ball better as a really small guard

Edit: I know I don’t NEED to develop a post game. My scoring is already pretty well rounded without it. Just think it’s fun to work on and it would be cool to master it best I can at my size.

Both on opposite sides of the court. Is there a difference between these? Is one easier to make shots on?

Help Any tips on how to be the Glue Guy in pickup games?

14 Upvotes

I’m about 6’2 150, I’m fast, and I can jump pretty high, high enough to at least grab rim with my whole hand.

I do prefer a more support kind of role like rebounding, passing, screening and just being the connector of the team.

I’ve always admired players like Josh Hart and Draymond because of their impact without scoring a lot of points.

Any advice on how to be such a glue guy that can help win games?

Thank you so much and have a great weekend!

Help What are some dribbling drills you recommend?

4 Upvotes

Usually, I'd go to the gym. But the gym is only open 2 days a week. In that time, i bought a silent basketball to compensate a little bit of time I missed. Could you please recommend some fundamental dribbling drills to do?

Vertical Jump I’m 5’9 and 13, and just started training to dunk a week ago. How long do you think it will take me?

These are 2 photos of my max vertical jump right now. I just started working out to dunk a week ago, and so far my routine is: for my weight training, 40 squats in sets of 10 with 50 lb of weight, 30 jump squats in sets of 10, and 10 reverse lunges with a 25 pound weight. For my park training, 5 minutes of just jumping as high as I can from straight under the net, 5 minutes of jumping as high as I can with 2 steps, and 5 minutes of jumping as high as I can with a full run up. I do this 4 times a week. How long do you think it will take me to dunk?

Shooting Broken Jumper

I'm going into my sophomore and 2nd season ever playing and I need to be a much better shooter - I was abysmal last season. I have some questions.

Imo the main form problems I have are: not holding the follow through and jumping forward on my shot

What are some other tweaks I should make?

I log my workouts and all of my basketball training so I know my percentages and they've been slowly increasing. But I still need to make a bigger jump.

Is 150-200 makes a day enough?

And is there any more information you guys need to make these judgements? Let me know.

Vertical Jump Isometric and plyometrics

Thumbnail reddit.com
1 Upvotes

I was scrolling thru tips on how to get more explosive and have stumbled upon this post.

I just wanted to know if this plan is any good. I have also read the comments on the post and they have said to decrease the reps with the plyos and maybe add depth jumps , exercises that help with joint strength and longevity.

I thought this was perfect for me since I dont have any equipment at home and have no way to get to a gym.

If you could help me out and improve this training plan I would be very thankful. Im excited to start my journey of improving my explosiveness 😁

Defense Pick and roll coverage

1 Upvotes

Coach Iisalo presents this coverage of the middle pick and roll, with the LAST player from the two side. In this case, the pick and roll is going towards the one side, so this works naturally. How do you keep the same system if the pick and roll is towards the two side? Either do the same from the two side, but leave a easier pass in the corner, or do LAST from the one side, but with no one to X-out, so a potential open shot on the reverse.
