A good inside out dribble is the most effective move a guard can have

Couple that with a crossover to counter the move and you can get in the paint at will

"Basketball is a game of separation." Separate with cuts, with simple and complex screens, and with the dribble. 

For the young player, know the options; master a few. This isn't designed to be comprehensive but illustrative. 

It's better to have fewer reliable actions than more mediocre options. It's also vital to have 'pickups' (into the shot) off various dribbles. 

Combination with hesitation. 

Set up and sell the crossover with force. 

The crossover can come off a jab, too. 

Lagniappe. Cut off screen and seal from Chris Oliver. 

This could be triggered by the position of a certain player or an automatic on the ball cross half court with no advantage.

Regardless a transition looping wing to slot back screen can be effective in creating space and an advantage. pic.twitter.com/y2sVbsOdml

Lagniappe 2. Condition within drills. 

Pressure Shooting w/ Conditioning

So much of Pre Draft is making sure players are shooting the ball well and they are in great shape. Tyon has been doing both at a high level!

This drill is simple, but combines both of those and is great for non contact days. pic.twitter.com/tPqaZOP2OY

Lagniappe 3. Find every opportunity to grow your game and help others.  

Here’s a really cool story about Wally Szczerbiak.

He wanted to workout, but his trainer couldn’t because he had a clinic for elementary-aged girls.

Wally showed up and participated in the clinic with the girls.

It doesn’t matter who is in the gym. Get your reps. pic.twitter.com/qnGjCp8exM
