Watch This to Test Your Basketball IQ

The NBA is officially back, and college basketball is right around the corner, which means basketball content is in full swing once again.
In this video, I want to look at some plays from the first few nights of the new season, and test your basketball IQ.
Follow along and see how many of these reads you get right!

ngl I thought jamal should have hit the joker

[@TuckerRichardson]

Probably could have gone either way.

[@darthhorror0HD]

same jokic was bigger than both defenders whothat could double team him in the paint and he was open

[@jojoprocess2820]

I think if he passed to jokic then jokic wouldve just passed it to corner anyways

[@TotalHuman]

​@@jojoprocess2820right but I think since the guy would collapse down it would leave for an even better look from the corner. Knowing jokic likes passing, we know he's looking to that take and can assume he'd make the kick out for the 3.

[@santiagooviedo5219]

Bro the pass should've been to AG

[@Panther016]

This is actually very neat. Pausing before the plays adds that entertainment factor. Great stuff!

[@TuckerRichardson]

Thank you! Wanna let you guys think a little.

Crazy!!

[@TuckerRichardson]

Yes!

[@alfonsstekebrugge8049]

Jamal on KCP I got wrong. I think everyone will see that KCP is an option in principle but deem it too risky. Way Murray bamboozles the defender to give him less reaction time is top class.

[@TuckerRichardson]

Yeah he is so tough.

Love these videos, could these be monthly series??

I have Great court awareness and playmaking IQ, this was like a test lol

[@TuckerRichardson]

That is the idea!

[@elijahayon8498]

This was creative and I was able to make most of the right reads until about the last 4 maybe 5 but I can't pull of these reads in game because even though I look up it feels like I'm focused on what's happening only in front of me should I try and be more aware to pull off more of these plays?

[@user-ow5ck6zm8g]

You should make more videos of these.

[@TuckerRichardson]

What kind of reads do you think I should do next?

Love what you’re doing Tuck. I’m a pro and D2 college player myself and do breakdown videos like this as well. Would love to chat with you and possibly collab on something in the future. Let me know.

[@TuckerRichardson]

Thank you!

[@compreHend777]

that's good

[@nitrox1613]

Hey Tucker really love the videos. I’m 6’2 and not very athletic. I’m able to rim graze dunk here and there but not consistently. What did you do to improve your vertical?

[@TuckerRichardson]

To be honest, I have never been very athletic/wasn't really able to improve my vertical. I will say the time in my life where I had the most bounce was my senior year of high school when I was trying to dunk all the time. So my body was getting jumping reps constantly which probably improved my vertical a little bit. Nowadays I stay below the rim 99% of the time haha.

[@nitrox1613]

@@TuckerRichardson got it applying the actual task I want to accomplishment would make the most sense to improve it. Thanks

[@kappakuppa7255]

@@nitrox1613 find a good plyometric program like beyond the rim and stick to it, do core excercises alot of jumping comes from your core, remember jumping is a full body excercises, calf raises are good but do you jump with just your feet? no. do quarter squats to practice getting stronger in the position, do isometrics for your knees to increase tendon strength and avoid injury

[@Sam_Ostrowshorts]

I only got the first and last one wrong, but I still feel like I can make so much improvement, so I’m wondering if there is anything I could do to get smarter

is it crazy im a junior and i got everyone one of them right yes even the hard jamal murray one

[@TuckerRichardson]

Let's go!!

[@user-he1ii7gh8k]

I did really well on this test, so I'm wondering how my basketball iq doesn't translate to my games. Maybe it's just the third person perspective as well, and I should try to keep my head on a swivel more often perhaps? I could also just be struggling to figure out how to pull off some of these passes without a turnover?

[@TuckerRichardson]

Yeah I think watching film helps you understand when you should make passes in certain situations. This way when the game comes around, you will be more ready to make a pass in a split second situation.

[@jeremiassantana7776]

You probably do it already, but try to not get your head down and see where your teammates and defenses are. About not turning the ball over, sometimes the pass may be uncomfortable so it may require a little bit of practice, or in other situations, when it is not possible to make the pass, or very difficult, you just have to wait a little more, keep moving or look for a better angle. Hope this helps

[@user-he1ii7gh8k]

@@jeremiassantana7776 thanks for the insight! I'll try to factor that into my game!

[@tombeall6254]

Some of these are different in Europe so it’s hard for me 😂

[@TuckerRichardson]

hmm which ones?

[@tombeall6254]

The third one with Tatum, we are taught to do the other option as it provides a more evenly spaced floor. Tatum is also looking to take the shot which is why he moves away from his defender however in Europe this is seen as taking up some of Al Horford’s space so therefore the incorrect decision. It’s interesting to see the difference between the NBA and Euroleague 🤔

[@TuckerRichardson]

Ahh I see! I actually have noticed this with some teams since playing over here so that is interesting.
