Trying to improve my game

I don’t really have the money to have a coach come out and help me but maybe I can wrangle up some tips from you guys on Reddit.

I am 18 years old. 6’5″, 170 lbs and started playing basketball two years ago.

That’s right two years ago. After watching a college basketball game. It inspired me to play. Ever since I’ve been playing. I am still in High School. Going onto my junior year so I have time to still play ball. But my skill needs to improve a lot because my confidence level is low and my shooting percentage is also low. I’ve been getting better every day but I need real help, or just real drills and tips/tricks.

I really don’t know what to ask but just to leave it on this one note. I wish to improve my game. I am tall but I feel like I can be a good shooting guard and not a post. I really don’t know what do you guys think.

Email me if you have some in-depth info for me. I’d highly appreciate that!

Why we need a shot clock in AAU Basketball

The pace of an AAU Basketball game is already high so why even consider a shot clock? AAU is intended to prepare athletes for future competitive basketball. Shot clock management is an important skill for all High School, College, and Pro players.

In any given year many AAU teams will compete in 3 or 4 times more games than a High School season. These games are important training opportunities.

And the same reasons we value a shot clock in all other basketball competition is why the AAU should adopt it.
