3 Simple Ways to DOMINATE High School Basketball - Score More!

[@bakerboy2267]

My PPG jumped from 12.4 last season and sixth man to 27.5 this year and league MVP in one year bro thanks to you. It means everything. I got to play with Dyson Daniels (I'm from Australia) and have offers to play JUCO next year in America. It means the world to me.

[@TuckerRichardson]

No way, that is incredible to hear! Sounds like you have unlocked something in your game. Don't stop now, keep going!

[@elwinkayihura5155]

I just have a question,Whats your aprroach in games and how do you score so much in games

[@bakerboy2267]

@@elwinkayihura5155 keep it simple, man. Don't force it and take whatever shot the defence gives you. If you've got someone shorter on you, shoot over them, if you've got someone bigger than you, blow by them. Floaters and the short mid range in general are key for guards. Also, being able to catch and shoot at forty or forty five percent is also key to making big numbers. If you can't shoot you have no chance of making out anywhere above hs level basketball.

Agreed. The unfortunate truth is PPG is how you get attention as a high school player. Even the kids at prep school got there by showing out at high school or AAU. My recommendations as a trainer are radically different from what I say as a coach.

Yup exactly. All those “role players” at the next level were elite in high school.

As an incoming high schooler i avg 8 ppg this aau season on a rlly good team. I didnt even play in 6th grade and in 7th avg like 4. One of the best 15 players going to my high school out of the 110 trying out for the team. Jus wanna get better every year and eventually make varsity. Im honestly more skilled than half of the best players but i still always feel that they just perform better in game. Im a very all around player. Prolly like a Kcp on better efficiency or a scottie pippen thats better at shooting and on way less volume. Excited for things ahead. Ive been playing well recently and prolly the 3 or 4th best player on a rlly good team

[@TuckerRichardson]

That is great to hear, and sounds like you are on a really great path to success. The key in what you said is getting better every year because improvement doesn't happen in a day or a week. It happens over long stretches of time. Best of luck to you!

[@DavidHall-zo8eg]

If a coach believes you're a great shooter, play to that strength and through that strength as much as possible. A good way to score more is making split-second decisions and taking advantage of defenders before they get set up. If you can shoot well off hand offs or having defenders chase you off screens, this can open up drives to the basket because defenders are in off balance recovery mode. Sprinting to your hot spots and having an offense that's set up to get you open is key. If you're a guy that can shoot at an elite level, then defenders are likely going to deny you the ball and face guard you. Off ball movement at the high-school level and stamina is important. You just need great coaches and smart teammates who recognize this. Pick up basketball is notorious for having that 1 guy who can shoot way better than anyone on the court, but end up getting face guarded after he gets hot. When guys in pick up recognize that, they won't set screens or free that player up whose been on fire all day, they will use that opportunity to start scoring themselves and lose the game. Learn how to relocate and use screens to get open in these situations.
