The game is called very differently today, and IMO it's important to adapt or you'll be left behind. That drift move that 90's players would call a carry is the most lethal weapon on the court today. Can't afford to not learn and use it.

Sure! First off - in the context of a screen or a handoff action, hedging pertains to the defender guarding the screener or player handing off the ball. The defender is 'hedging' when they step out in front of the ball handler as they go around the screen/handoff. In a scenario where the defender hedges, they are attempting to push the ball handler either back the way they came, or toward the sideline and away from the basket. You'll hear it being referred to as "stretching out the ball handler". Important to note: hedging is not a switch. When a defender hedges, they are buying time for their teammate guarding the ball to get back into position, at which point they'll recover to the screener.

@@Runk-TCBasketball thank you

I'm glad it's helping! Next one will come out in a few weeks, and i'm particularly excited about this one.

FT shooting % correlates directly to jumper FG%. So yes, i think it's a good idea. You see me working on them in this video for that very reason. Even in the refereed games I still play in, I don't take FT's often. I practice them to work on my upper body form. Since the distance is always the same, and I'm not engaging my lower body to the same degree by jumping, it reduces the variables in the shot that can go wrong. It's essentially an extension of a form shot.

It's true, but if you want to shoot from good position you have to dribble and get this good position even with a weak hand(in my opinion)

@@mateusz4419 thats an option, but shooting of the dribble is more difficult than catch and shoot. You can access a good position thru cutting. Look at klay 43 points with only 4 dribbles

I disagree, but we're all shaped by our experiences! I was always my teams good/great shooter, but never better than the 3rd scoring option because I couldn't separate to get shots. 95% of my shots always came from someone else's dribble creation, which left me open due to a cut or help defender collapsing. But the beauty of basketball is that it doesn't have to be played one way. If you combine great shooting with elite off-ball moving and teammates that know how to space and/or screen effectively, you can certainly score in volume without dribbling much. Ideally, you can do all 3 really well!

Great feedback, thank you!

Same

example? timestamp it

@@29DarkBoy I think he's right, from a technical perspective. Example; 0:50s - if you freeze it, you can see my fingers are "under" the ball for brief moment as I push it forward. My opinion is that a ref is unlikely to call that, but they could! I'll cover it in a future video.

@@Runk-TCBasketball Rule No. 10: Section II, part d: A player who is dribbling may not put any part of his hand under the ball and (1) carry it from one point to another or (2) bring it to a pause and then continue to dribble again. Learn to dribble.

Ha I like that one
