Ekam, Don't forget to work on this part of your game - the mid range jump shot as described here.

When you are working with just 50% of the offensive area, well, you have to work longer to produce a good shot. But the pickup dribble and the jump shot would help alleviate that pressure. It would also speed up the game. I used to have a drill to promote the pickup 2-point jumper: 5-on-5, no shots either from three or in the lane. Oh, my God! Guys had to work like crazy! But, you know what? They improved and we'd get those shots in the games. I told them, "The jumper is the can-opener. Hit a few of those and the threes will come and the lane will open up." But I am howling into the wind on this one.

This came from a coaching friend in Italy.

You will as soon as you start knocking them down. We beat the #8 team in the state one year, went 6 for 9 from the 3. :-) Keep working on that mid range shot... It will make your team harder to defend.

Tough gig -You can work on your dribbling... form shooting off the wall and ball handling drills too.

Jump rope, jumping back and forth over lines ... jump up and down on boxes.

That works too.... think of anything that you use in YOUR game and break it down to a drill.... do that within the confines or your garage.

For this offseason, i'm working on adding at least 3 different moves finishing at the rim...should i practice a move with both feet
example:- pretend i'm practicing the euro step and i finish on the ride side with my right hand using a left to right step, should i practice it the opposite way too
