Question
hey him Anthony. I am going to be a junior next year and i really need to step up with my game. My weaknesses are left hand dribbling and shooting. I really can play, but i know i have a lot to improve on. I need to know when to drive, shoot, make a smart pass. Most importantly i need to know when to step up and lead my team. The way i see it now, i am never going to make it to the NBA, and that is all i want. Please help me!!!

Answer
Hi Anthony,

Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, even though I have coached in the past, I do not consider myself even close to being an expert on player development. This is a question better suited for someone who coaches full time, and in addition I would also sit down and have a conversation with your own coach at your school. sorry I couldn't be more help to you.
