Question
I am in 9th grade. I am not very tall (about 5-6)  but I am not that good at playing piont gaurd. What position do you think would be best for me and what should I do to prepare?

Answer
Hi Christian,

Well the next logical position for your height is the shooting guard or off guard. The shooting or off guard has to have good ball handling skills just like the point guard. They don't have to be quite as good but pretty darn close. I think you need to work on the fundamentals of basketball. I am sending a link to a great site that will help you with this. It is free and has some great instruction and videos to help with fundamentals. Good luck and let me know how if it helps or not. Just copy and paste in your address bar.
