✅ MUST HAVE Shooting Guard Skills 

I totally agree. I was a lazy bastard in high school, JV and benchwarmer varsity player and after graduating I didn't play for a couple years. Then I started playing pickup again and fell in love with basketball all over, practiced shooting, not even as much as you, but became a better shooter than I ever had and just thought how I wasted the best time to play basketball without being passionate about improving my skills. I could have made my team better and had an impact but I was mentally elsewhere at the time.

@@GlobusTheGreat the thing I just hate to see is kids with a lot of passion for the game go into a gym and work their ass off on a million different ball handling drills which don’t get wrong have their place but then you watch them shoot and struggle to consistently make free throws. Everyone watches the NBA and wants to dribble like James Harden Curry or Kyrie but the thing they don’t realize is every team will only have 1 maybe 2 guys with the freedom to dribble more than a few times every time they touch the ball most guys will be told to keep the ball moving if you play the right way and hit shots you’re a guy that can be valuable to every offense

@@DC-jx6rf Yeah, that's what I learned from playing pickup ball too. A team of ballhandlers with 1 shooter doesn't gel. A team of shooters with 1 ballhandler is a potent offense. Someone to throw assists to is way better than another person to dribble and slow the offense down. I totally agree that shooting is the most valuable skill to practice, and it's also arguably the easiest to practice as well. Best return on investment.

@@GlobusTheGreat yup exactly!

@@DC-jx6rf Do you still remember the drills you did to become a sniper?

He means in real life...

@@rat1945 yes i know its a joke

@@rat1945 r/woooosh

then you have a combo guard star type of player

Hope you make it bro.

always good to start young 👍

hes probably doing one for every position

Sound more like a combo guard

5’9”/5’10” 17 yrs old Good shooting Solid finishing (but no dunks) Ok ball handling and passing Excellent defense (I love stl, rebs etc) Should I play SG?

You’re looking at him versus the best of the best in the NBA regardless of position, at the high school or college level all of his stats are 8-10

Same thing with me, except I’m primarily a point guard

Yes but if you cant finish they will just play close and not let you shoot

@@andrecorreia4301 I can finish, it’s that I’m not like good at it, I’m just average

@@2kmichaeljordan438 It's okay, but if you can draw a foul inside that helps. Or just a floater or something for if people jump at you on the 3pt line. But if you can knock down open 3's and play defense you will always be valuable, so it's smart to start there. But once you master those skills, why think about what you *need* to have, just keep improving to your heart's content.

@@GlobusTheGreat literally all I am is a 3 and D player. I cannot handle the ball, I have average finishing, and my playmaking is meh. This summer I’m gonna work on my finishing, since that’s the skill I really want to get good at

@@2kmichaeljordan438 you really don’t need handles like that tbh😂, I used to be a bad handler den I turned into a good one over the summer in 2017, I rarely show off my handles. Your passing ability comes naturally. Playmaking=IQ. If you know the game of basketball really well you can become an averaged/good passer. And your finishing ability is all about touch around the rim. Just watch guys like Russ, Kyrie, harden, curry, Zion, Lou will, drose, trae young etc. all have great touch around the rim, you don’t need a crazy reverse layup or anything. I used to be such a bad finisher and now im like one of the best. All this takes is practice and effort to be a good all around player. Like you already have the defense and 3pt shooting. Once you get a mid range, and all the other parts of the game down. You’ll be unstoppable.

@Pro Dev pg

On the way...

Little bit of everything

I think they are the more versatile of all the positions; being able to play defense all around the court and a decent scorer with the ability to play make from time to time. I could be very wrong but who knows!
