How to keep up with more athletic basketball players?
December 31, 2009 - 6:53 am
I’m a 6′7 freshman and there are other ppl around my size but they’re more athletic they jump higher and are quicker. What is the best way for me to still play good against players like that?
Skills. If you develop your skills you’ll shut off the more athletic guys. They rely on their speed and their jumping ability. I tell you these because I’m athletic and a lot of times other players who are more skilled outplay me.

With the same physical condition, while skill is no doubt the key factor to be outstanding,you may try to learn from some NBA stars with the same size as you to improve your skill,hope it does work.

Fundamentals. Be in the right position, block out, pass, move without the ball ,etc.
Watch some videos of Larry Bird. He routinely outplayed faster players who jumped higher.

Work on your game every day for one thing. Do basic ball workouts. For now, while playing these guys, stay close to them defensively, hands in the air, use your hips and at 6′7" yous you height as leverage. Not everyone has to be the star, without players like Rambus, Madson, and DJ, Lakers would not have had as many championships. (Yes, I’m going on that limb and saying Lakers will win this year)!!! Just give 110% and keep you mind and eyes open! Try new thing. I used to be the only guy I knew that used did the Sky Hook… and at the end of my short Basketball carer, I was dame good!!!
GO LAKERS!!!

The only way to keep up with more athletic players is to become a more athletic player, the only way to become a better player is to really WANT to become a better player. Practice everyday from 30 minutes to an hour. If you don’t try than you won’t become better.
Start with your quickness, The best way to become quicker is to focus on the ball, If you don’t really want tit you’ll never get it
The best way to become better is ball handling, start with dribbling 2 balls everyday. Start with the same time, and than go in out and be creative but this will make you quicker with the ball because you need to be able to be smooth, another sense if you will.
