Low Man Help

Welcome to Low Man Help!
I'm Marc Campbell and since 2018, I have worked full-time as a private shooting coach, serving multiple NBA players.
Low Man Help is my vehicle for providing the same level of detailed breakdowns and insights to players, coaches and fans that I provide to my NBA clients.
My work with each player focuses on one central concept: Process over Results.
This thinking has also helped lead to some good traditional results. Every client I have worked with has experienced at least a six-point percentage jump in their three-point shooting (always on career-high volume) during our time together.
It's my hope that these videos are fun and increase your knowledge of the game. Ideally, you'll be able to leave these videos with thoughts and ideas for improving your game (players), teaching a specific concept (coaches), or increasing your appreciation of basketball.
I hope you enjoyed the videos and thank you for supporting Low Man Help!

Derrick White does a wonderful job of reading closeouts and creating “wins” at all three levels of Spot Up action.
1. The Catch: Great Shot Prep Footwork!
2. Closeout Defender: Reading “Dare You vs. Oh Shit” closeout (high hip vs. low hip).
3. Help Defenders: Reading Early, Late, or No Help.
Teaching Point for Players Watching: DO YOU WORK EARLY!! Lifting your body before the ball gets on top of you is so important. This will put you a half step ahead of the play and allow you to play in rhythm and on balance!

Hey, what annotation program do you use to draw on the video like that?
yo love the vids, what program are you using to annotate on your vids like that? im also a starting youtuber and need a program to do such annottations :)
Your content qualities are excellent. Your channel has great-quality content but is still not delivering to the right audiences due to SEO problems. Your video SEO score is poor, so you should focus on SEO to get a large fanbase. Thanks
Thank you for this video
You're welcome! Thanks for checking out the channel, and I hope you keep coming back for more breakdowns!
A basketball channel with actual basketball content? Suscribed!
Heyy!! Welcome to LMH!! Really happy to have you here, and thanks for the kind words!
Gotta say I leaned more about basketball in this video than I have ever learned before. Your teaching style is off the charts
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and it’s incredible to hear that you took some insights away from it! (I hope you’ve also subscribed and enjoy the future LMH content!)
Im going to laugh my ass off when the T wolves win game 7
How is your ass
Please dont put Jok and Jamal in the same sentence, Jamal is just another Gary Harris, solid G-League player. Imagine if Jordan instead of Pippen had Jamal who shoots 3 of 18 every other game (besides not playing any defence and having IQ75), he could just dream of 6 titles.
Thanks for checking out the edit, George! Jamal is a great player, and everyone is subject to bad games occasionally. I would expect a significant response from Jamal in Game 7. Bad game or not, he's still Jokic's two-man game partner, and they're the best in the league (primarily because of Jokic).
Murray is trash 90% of the time.
He might be just a little better than that. He is definitely less consistent than Jokic, but he can hit some high points when he gets going. There might be other guys in the league who could play the same role as Murray, but none of them have the chemistry or collective thinking power Murray has with Jokic.
So if you were defending him, how would you stop him?
Pray!! He's on a remarkable run right now, and one thing amplifying it is that the whole team is totally bought into their roles around him as the alpha. It's really about him making and missing shots right now. The Pacers have made the shots more difficult by guarding him with bigger and better athletes. Obviously, if they win this series, there will be a lot of really big and high-level athletes waiting for him in the next round (Jrue, Brown, and White).
Good breakdown
Thanks! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it! Game 7 should be an awesome test for both teams!
This should have way more views. Learned a lot from this!
Really glad you enjoyed it! I'm trying to bring my experience and teaching points from working as an NBA shooting coach for the past six years to UA-cam to teach players how to be more effective! Make sure to subscribe and share it!
I love that you talk about the power of simple. Complete mastery of fundamentals is is crucial not only in sports, but also in music, craftmanship, healthcare, engineering, you name it.
Exactly! The greatest in the world continuously stack simple actions on top of one another. However, being able to do simple at the highest level doesn't mean easy; it takes a massive commitment to your craft. When no one is looking, you must earn simple.
Imagine a 6.4 player getting 13 boards a game in the playoffs, hes leading the team in rebounds
He's unique!
Oh shit coach 3 videos in a day letssss goooooo ✅
Thanks! Hope you enjoy the edits and that they're helpful!
This is such a good breakdown, just shows that stars and superstars in the NBA do the simple things at an elite level.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's true. The best are just doing simple actions (challenging to do them vs. the best athletes in the world). The highlight plays are mixed in but the numbers and status come from doing simple over and over vs. the best in the world.
@@lowmanhelp any chance you could make a video on specifically footwork and how to improve it? love ur content and breakdowns man
@@BigBaz__785 I'm going to be in the gym this summer. Then, I'll start expanding the content with some on-court stuff. I'll most likely start with ball handling and finishing. In my opinion, that's the best thing to translate to players through video here. I'm glad you're enjoying the breakdowns, I'll keep them coming!
Fantastic
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the deep dive on Core 3 changes and being a good "Actor"! Any other specific players you would want to see?
Good analysis! Would you post a video describing the best shot footwork prep?
Thanks! Yeah, I'll get one up so players can reference it for their off-season workouts! Thanks for the suggestion. Here are two articles I wrote that have videos about SP footwork in them if you want to check it out: open.substack.com/pub/lowmanhelp/p/how-to-build-a-player-development?r=2wmouo& lowmanhelp.substack.com/p/what-keyser-soze-taught-me-about?r=2wmouo
This is Excellent!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
The first play analyzed You indicated that he stops and takes a shot there. But that shot was pretty deep. Being meticulous is better most of the time
First, thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoyed the video! Everything is in context. That first one, I believe, is a good shot for him if he's in R+B (rhythm + balance) with his footwork and dribble (which he is in that example). It might not be a good shot for everyone, but for AE, it is. Turning down open shots that are in R+B to drive into a compressed defensive shell doesn't usually lead to good things, and turning down this shot leads to a TO for AE. He takes that exact shot four plays later when KD is late on a switch. It's a miss, but it sets the tone for the defense that they must be up at the level in the PnR, which opens up pocket passes to rolling bigs and skip passes (both of which the Wolves got a lot of in Game 2).
Love this channel, totally down to nerding about these details
