Why did you delete your response to my post?

I didn't want to slander his teammates

Kid's a ball player. I only watched the first 12 minutes of the first video and granted, he took at least a pair of really ill-advised shots, but he also took (and hit) a number of good shots and again, it's clear he's a player. High school kids will take some bad shots sometimes, it happens.

Otherwise, again, I acknowledge he's playing low level competition, but he's got tools to fit in at any high school level and he appears to be on a college track. He's not god's gift and he's not going to the NBA, so surely there's things he can tighten up and master, but he appears to have a lot of things going for him.

I'll respond in a few weeks.
I'll post video of few workout sessions with him in a few weeks when i am in town.


But this thread helped alot .. things i'll tell him to do

1. Shot Mechanics , start it over your head
2. Weight Room , hit the chest press
3. Go-To- Move , step back jumper
4. Improve Handles , lots of two ball dribbling
5. Study JJ Reddick , learn to move w/o ball


got it thanks. i'll bump this thread in a few week s

My advice: tell him to use his low level talent to his advantage. Hit the books and try to go to a D3 school like Williams, Swarthmore or Hopkins. If he wants to play in a cool system Grinnel.
