Still working on it

I have been practicing on my basketball skills, I have been getting better a lot almost everyday the best skill I am good at is 3 pointers and layups the skill I am a little worse on the dribbling moves the reason why is I haven't got it  because the moves are a little difficult cause you have to think about it and what you are going to do every time you just have to not worry about it. I also haven't found the dribbling drills I want to look at to get better . It would be great to have a coach to teach me drills to become more of a skilled player. That would help me be a better player. I can tell my shooting is a lot better I making more shots constantly. It comes naturally to others but it is not naturally for me.

Still working on my shot

Today in the gym I worked on my 3 pointers, dribbling, layups .I  have been working on these shots for a while now. I feel like I have been getting a lot better mostly on layups and 3 pointers. I think the most difficult skill is jump shots because you have to catch the ball in your hands and at the same time watch the defense to see what they are going to do. I think Andrew Wiggins is the best 3 point shooter. I think this because he is on a winning team and he is also leading all players in scoring and he is just a sophomore. I think the best player dribbling to the goal to make a layup is marcs smart. Marcus smart also played at Oklahoma St. he is just a sophomore he is such a talented player because his quickly burst. While he can dribble to the he is also a great clutch shooter. These guys are at the top of there game I wonder what I would be like to play like them. It takes a lot of hard work and natural abilities combine to reach this level of skill.

Inside shot

I didn't shoot basketball lately. But the last time I played basketball I did really good my three pointers were going in , my layups were easier than they've been, and all of it was just easier for me. I feel like I can do more than I could ever do. I can make the harder shots. But I feel like I need to work on the  closer shots. It's harder to make a closer shot than it is to pull up and shoot a long shot because you have to worry about the defenders that can block you. For a shorter shot you might have to dribble around a defender or out jump him. You might have to fake him out, be quicker than he is, or just be able to jump higher in order to get the shot off. It is hard to practice this realistically when you are practicing alone. To practiced inside shots you have to imagine a defender and what you have to do to get around him.
