1) i shoot about 50-100 3-pointers a day and avg about 30%
2) my free throws are 67% i basically play 21 to try to help this out
3) i need help on driving in on the defense. i sometimes get nervous when i drive in, but the time im not i just get blocked or can't break the defense.

Answer
Hi David,

I'm sorry I really can't answer your question. My expertise is not in conditioning but rather basketball rules and regulations. I'm sure if you scroll back through other experts in the "Basketball" category you will find someone much better suited to answer your question.  Good Luck!!
