    Strengths:

    Rebounding (easily my greatest strength, by far) - My Offensive rebounding is stronger. Just like good ol' Dennis over to my left, I can jump a couple of times before most guys have even realised where the ball is. I'm great at tipping the ball to where I want it, so then I can chase it down. I'm great at tipping it back in. I have rather long arms (6'8 armspan and I stand 6'3 - 6'4), so it helps me when reaching for the ball.

    Playing within a team and knowing my role - I have never been a selfish player and I will never be a selfish player, I love to get my teammates involved. However, if I'm on a team with not scorer, I have no problem stepping up, but I still want to get everyone involved. Somtimes I'm called out by my coach because I'm too passive and don't take enough shots. I can go a couple of games with only taking 10 shots and I won't care, but it drives my coach mad.

    Hustling - I wasn't the best hustler on my team, but I was one of the best. I always worked hard to get the ball. I love diving across the floor to get the ball.

    Defense (post defense is strongest) - I used to be pretty poor on defense, but when I joined my current team, the coach was very defensive minded, so it was either learn to play defense or not play at all and now I love to play defense.

    Post play - I can get post position rather well, but I have limited moves and I can become predicitable. I've broken out a few dazzling moves every now and then, but my lack of motivation when it comes to taking shots brings this down for me.


    Weaknesses:

    I often become content with just wandering around on offense waiting for a shot to go up so I can go an get the rebound, which is where I operate at my best, under the boards.

    Arguing with refs. Not always that bad, but if I'm not in a good mood and the refs are doing a poor job, I'll definitly let them know. Maybe not in the best way.

    Free throws - Very inconsistent. One week I'll be hitting 8 out of 10, the next week I'll be lucky to hit the rim at all.

    3 point shooting - Never been able to apply this aspect of my game to an actual game. I can shoot them and I can definitly make them, but I don't practice them enough nor do I have enough confidence to take one in a game.

    Conditioning - Always been an area of weakness for me.

    I'll often tease opposing players, sometimes this is good sometimes it's bad. Good when it gets them frustrated, bad when I get caught doing it and then the refs give me a hard time for the rest of the game, such as calling ticky tack fouls on me, which then brings up my other weakness of arguing with the refs.

    Hey im kinda new to basketball.

    Im 5'5 at 15, around 120 lbs so I figure that im a PG.

    Im very fast. I run a 5:50 mile and can get at least 100 on pacer tests. Stamina and Speed.

    Playing in Gym going for a rebound I messed up the growth plate in my right ring finger so I have to limit rebounding.

    Im pretty much bad at everything because im new.

    I can pass fine and have an okay mid ranged shot.

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to improve my ball handling? Thats my main priority. Also if you have any other suggestions on what I should work on let me know.

    Try dribbling with two balls u can look up drills for that on youtube, dribbling in the grass, dribbling with winter gloves, dribbling with a tennis ball while u do these u can close ur eyes so ur used to not lookin down at the ball. And another i like is stand on an elavated surface like a chair or something and dribble hard enough so it comes right back this increases dribbling speed.

    In the words of lilojmayo:

    Everyday I am at the gym doing some shooting workout I always ask this question. Ever since i hooped with daboyecho Which was 34 days ago exactly. All I have done is basketball workouts 3-5 hours a day so I am a 150 hours of basketball better than when he saw me. and I go to weight room about 1 hour a day. Just a few days ago during a pickup game with a bunch of college players some playing JUCO, some NAIA. We were playing to 12 ones and twos( 3pters). I ended the game in about 2minutes. I was in the zone i started of with a put back layup. Then proceeded to hit 5 straight 3s wiith a hand in my face from the same spot about 22 ft. Then the last posession faked the 3 and drove by for the banker layup.

    DaBoyEcho compared me to Rudy Gay because of how we basically do a little of everything shoot, can drive hard, block shots, jump, a post game, offensive rebounder handle hit the outside jumper, but i don't see it. Gay doesn't have the court vision and PG instincts or doesn't set up his teammates like do

    I say there is nobody i resemble im a prototype. In the halfcourt I am 3 point shot happy off the triple threat facing up, but when i start to put the ball on the floor i am always going to drive or pass it no off the dribble jumpers aka I have no midrange game at all. i can drive hard and am a good finisher. I don't like to come off screens to catch and shoots, but I do like to faceup first then spray it in thee ds eye. I have good body control so i can make alot of double clutch layups. I love to set up my teammates and have good court vision almost always lead in assists or close to it, then in the fastbreak i do all the fancy dribbling moves try to cross up to defense and get to the rack. Whenever i see a clear lane I am going to try to dunk it. I am a below average defense rebounder especially when I am going up against somebody stronger than me. I'm a really good offensive rebounder. I am a nightmare to score against end of story always lead in blocks and steals and it isn't even close. DaBoyEcho can tell you when he scored on me he had to work, then hit a highly contested low percentage mid to outside jumper, but i do have to admit it looks pretty on camera.

    Biggest Strengths:
    3pt Shot
    Scoring
    Ball Handling
    Court Vision
    Defense
    Offensive Rebounding

    Biggest Weaknesses:
    Defensive Rebounding
    Rarely Post Up
    Mid Range
    Stamina

    If I had to pick an NBA player for just the offensive game: a mix Steph Curry/Ricky Rubio

    For the DaBoyEcho i would say: Boobie Gibson w/better d. I great spot up/catch and shoot 3pt shooter, can stay with you man to man. can put th eball on the floor but prefers not to.

    Whenever I get my camera back I will make a video of my summer workout mixed with highlights of when i played with the DaBoyEcho

    Strengths
    - Three point shooting, averaged 3,1 made threepoint field goals per game last season, deadly from almost anywhere on the field (except inside...)
    - Athleticism, high vertical leap (can dunk even though I'm 5 foot 8 tall)
    - Leadership, I am tha captain of my team and I love to encourage m teammates and cheer from the bench and stuff like that
    - Kinda strong and can play a little tough
    - Few turnovers, I try not to play over my limits, I always do what I need to do and not trying any fancy stuff. Trying to always use the easiest option. I am reliable that way.
    - Scorer

    Weaknesses
    - I am short, 5 foot 8 and plays shooting guard, not good handle or passing skills for the point guard spot.
    - Almost never drives to the basket, I usually fall in love with the outside shoot. Better teams can stop me because I don't drive very often. Easy to guard.
    - Not very quick, especially in defense. Quick slashers have no problem of getting past me.
