- 2015 Progress Report
Ball Handling: Dribbling is solid but needs improving. Left hand is developing well. Needs to use off-arm to protect the ball. Has the tendency to pick-up his dribble prematurely. Keeps his head up while dribbling. Changes directions well. Must continue to work on cross-over, spin-move, between-the-legs, & around-the-back dribbling techniques. Also, needs to continue practicing the step-back dribble, plus changing speeds.
Footwork: Displays good footwork offensively. Needs to improve step-slide movement defensively. Utilizes both the jump stop and one-two step landing properly. Also gets into triple threat position on the perimeter. Pivots well on both feet using forward or reverse pivoting methods. Is developing the jab-step & faking and cutting methods.
Jump Shot: Shoots the ball well. Has range on his jump shot, but not ready from 3-point area. Needs to use his legs better. Shot selection is improving. Does create his own shot and shoots-off-the-dribble fairly well. Nice release.
Passing: Pivots and passes extremely well. Must get stronger to improve passing range and velocity. Does fake in one direction, and then pass the opposite direction. Learning how to ball fake, head bob, pass fake, or just looking the opposite direction ("looking the defender off") to open the desired passing lane.
Defense: Getting better at understanding defensive principles. Leaves his feet and reaches too often which allows his man to get by him easily. Has good quickness and athleticism to become a better defender. Must continue to step-slide to beat his opponent to the spot. Anticipating the steal needs work. Understands zone & man-to-man principles.
Player Summary: Entering his Fifth year of playing organized basketball. A skilled and confident player offensively. Displays nice footwork. Needs to get stronger. Must learn to control his emotions. Enjoys athletics and being around his teammates. Plays both guard positions. Loves the game so he should improve each season.
