Skills You NEED To Have As An Undersized Guard (Full Breakdown)

[@levinyucel8594]

“Shoulder at hip level” - wow this is such a good way of teaching this.

[@erattey]

I definitely agree that these skills are vitally important for undersized guards. The off-arm is also a very underrated, yet very crucial aspect. Will try to implement these into my game! Thanks, Coach!

[@21kjavierrr]

Shoulder at hips(become faster) Change of pace(quick to slow) (slow to quick) Off arm Become a good shooter

[@sundreamvideos2717]

Chris Lykes is INSANE! Loved this breakdown coach thank you!!!

[@abbyik7357]

Been watching sooo much Lyke’s film. To be 5’7 and a pure scorer? Spectacular. A mix of Lillard, D-Lo(if he could hit half the shots he jacks up), and Nate Robinson

[@VisionDrivenBasketball]

Absolutely. With the green light he has, you can expect some lower efficiency. But every season he’s gotten more and more efficient and last year he shot 43% overall and 38 from 3. Excited to see his next step forward.

[@abbyik7357]

@@VisionDrivenBasketball Nah, he has a green light, I’m talking about D-Lo😭 Lykes has a burner and is a bit more efficient than he seems like off the bat

Thanks for the tips on knocking down most of my shots now and I made the team of my school basketball team

Do you have a passing/court vision workout? Great videos man!

[@VisionDrivenBasketball]

Best way to develop court vision and passing ability is through playing live basketball. That’s one of those things that comes best by just learning the game first hand through experience. I'll make a video explaining this more at some point!

[@zoro9037]

I’ll be honest with you it seems like an ability you have or you don’t have

[@Fred-kf3iy]

@@zoro9037 there are some NBA players that improved a lot their court vision, John havlicek is an example, Tatum during the playoffs, Adebayo and even Curry wasn’t that great playmaker in college.

[@zoro9037]

@@Fred-kf3iy fair enough but the way I see it is it shouldn’t be too hard to find a good pass . Sorry I don’t want to come off as ignorant

[@xinonamiiumx]

Small tip: when you drive your foot closest to the defender should be in front.

[@havadd]

In NBA competition seems need to have something worth trading with being on the floor meaning a great asset that makes the coach say ok we will give up the normal size guy for whatever you can bring to the court

[@warhead______]

im not small by any means im average but i like to know how to play vs the taller centers cause im starting basketball soon. Thanks for this!

[@drew3069]

Coach Ethan, I have a question. My friends say I'm very fast but they also say I'm very out of control. How do I prevent this? Additionally, I still don't get how to use my off arm. Could you do a Chris Lykes workout? Lastly, thx for these great videos. They are very helpful and honestly I wouldn't be half as good at basketball as I am right now if you didn't post these videos.

[@VisionDrivenBasketball]

It’s important to be fast, but you have to know how to play with pace if you want to be under control. Here’s a video that explains that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3WZdHVmbLGsa7c Using your off arm is simply about getting the defender’s hand off you. If you drive to the left, you use your right hand to swipe the defender’s hands off of you.

I’m a 5’8-5’10 freshman(15) I recognize that I’m pretty tall for my age, but in basketball terms it’s pretty average. And I doubt I will be able to grow tall enough to be 6’5+ so I’m training as smaller guard just incase my height doesn’t increase as much over the years

[@callanruka9194]

One of the disadvantages of this skill set is the bigger players weaponize the same system for themselves to improve they game!

[@VisionDrivenBasketball]

Very true, as time goes on basketball favors height and length more and more and taller players are more and more skilled. But there’s always a place for smaller guards if they can do these things at an elite level!

[@callanruka9194]

I definitely had to start taking it seriously now I’m not gonna lie after Covid I just became unmotivated and lazy now I’m about to be 16 I’m a sophomore I’m not really that good and I’ve mostly been a center whenever I play in middle school but now that I’m in high school yeah I’m tall 6’2 But Kyrie Irving is that same height as well and you see how small he is compared to everybody else I’m a see if maybe I can re-class to get some more time

[@jackcoghlan7200]

Undersized in the NBA is 6ft. Im 5'7, sometimes I feel like I can't score in iso no matter what I do. I play with collegiate and HS players, mostly 6ft or taller.. I burn my guy, he gets the chasedown block anyway. I create space, he closes the distance in one step.

6'4 13 yo here, size is definitely an advantage, but it's not everything. Shifty little guards are some of the hardest people to defend, of course us bigs at a young age don't have the coordination to keep up with them, but speed and skill matters more than height.

[@Mptappin12]

Essentially try to play like Trae Young and Isaiah Thomas change of pace of arm. You have to be very good at ball handling, shooting definitely finishing.
