We identify the elite player as a "RED". One thing we do at our level high school varsity girls is assign our best 1 v 1 defender who is not necessarily one of our best offensive players to guard the elite player.
She DOES NOT get off and help when on the weak side or when they attack the basket with the elite player just one pass away from the penetration. Make some one else beat us off the dribble.
In other words, limit the number of touches by the elite player. Maybe even frustrate the "star". Good tips. I was scorched by an elite guard recently. I used a few of these and was burnt, a couple of these others tips would have been handy for our team I will be sharing with the squad These tips are exactly what i've been working with my group 6th graders on this summer.
I think these are quite good tips, but I prefer to take a full court pressure if the guard is really skilled, denying the player from the in bounce pass to avoid that he takes the ball upcourt and organises the teammates. Making a combination of yor tips, it will be possible to force the opponents coach to sit down his elite guard and take into the game the 2nd guard of a team.
I think it's the best option, take him out of the game, maybe fouling him out too. I got this! He ended up missing the last nine shots of that game with me on him, and we won.
But the stat sheet is still vivid in my mind. Kobe took 47 shots. No one has ever taken 47 shots on me. Most games a team will get up 81 to 89 shots. Tracy McGrady. Attempting to stop him always came down to how could you bother him. With some guys you can bother their shot by playing them really tight. But every time Tracy elevated to shoot, he got so high up that you were pretty much at his will. With those type of guys, you really just have to hope they miss.
So I would always do my best to deny Tracy the ball and be physical with him. But limiting transition points against a guy with the physical talent of Tracy was just a nightmare. I think he took a step toward doing that last season. His development is very similar to Devin Booker. He's proven that in the playoffs; he's a prime-time guy and he's carrying his team deep into playoffs. I think that's the tier that Mitchell falls under now. They committed to him.
They've doubled down, and they believe that he can play in the playoffs and play in the crunch time minutes. He is going to have to prove he can play against smaller lineups. But I wouldn't be surprised if at the end they're the No. He handles the ball a majority of the time. His usage is off the charts. His creativity is his greatest strength. He's the best passing big in our league. He did it at the highest level.
He plays at his own pace and he's comfortable. They just find a way to do it with angles. They play at their pace. They play with the ball. They're great passers. I just think his IQ is off the charts and he doesn't seem to get rushed. His touch around the rim, it's guard-like. It's top three in the league. I hope he comes back healthy. I think you could put him right next to Mitchell. I think he's a special talent, an elite talent, and I think he had momentum from the bubble and he carried over to the year.
I think the team struggles says more about the guys around them than those two guys. I don't think they've done a great job of surrounding those two with the players needed for them to succeed. The clock is ticking over there. The West is loaded again. As special as Lillard is and how good McCollum is, I just don't like the roster they've put around, the depth that they built. The roster is super thin.
He just hasn't proven it on a winning team. You could say, "Well, they haven't had a good team. It seems like he always gets his numbers and they're monster numbers some nights, but it just doesn't seem like he impacts winning.
As a defender, he really doesn't give you much. He doesn't give you rim protection. He's a true five. He's a great offensive five, but he's a below-average defender at the five. He has the talent, the potential, the mindset. He can definitely be an All-Star here in the near future. He might be the guy that emerges as the lead man on that team. New ownership group coming, I think that adds another layer of questions: what's going to happen there, what's going to happen with the players if they don't get off to a good start.
You can hear Towns's name on the trade block. I'm a huge fan of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. I think he's as good as a young point guard that we have in our league. His pace is great. He's an improved shooter. But who knows if any of them are any good? This is a bad team.
The question is do they shake it up midseason. They have more assets than any team in the league. There are a lot of things they can do. The Lakers are swinging for the fences. Russ is a boom-or-bust kind of deal. On one hand you've got three super talented guys, you've got a guy in Westbrook, who has a history of just going on runs where he just wins you games by how he plays and with his intensity.
But on the other hand I don't see how that works when it really matters. There's a ton of questions that are going to be really tough for those guys. AD's health, LeBron's age, the lack of shooting, Westbrook, his decision-making and play, for a guy who's a great player, at the end of games, how many dumb decisions does he make?
Not to mention, how many guys do they have that are really old, over 35? It seems like a lot. I never really even want to doubt LeBron, because I think he's really f good. And if he hadn't gotten hurt last year, they're on their way to the one seed or two seed and probably in the Finals, but he does and now it totally changes.
I'm a little skeptical, I guess I would say, The argument for it would be you get as much talent and star power as you can, and then you figure out the rest. To me, you could see them winning a significant amount of games and just overpowering you. But it just seems like they got to really thread the needle for that to happen.
Phoenix will be close to what they were last year , above the top half of the West kind of team. Especially if CP's healthy, probably very similar because they were good defensively. They're good offensively. They've got multiple guys who can shoot. The thing I thought that was pretty underrated with them was they had a good mix and a good group of young guys that, they won a lot of games at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter, because they had guys that could score a little bit and then they surrounded them with guys who could all shoot and defend and keep rotating and playing hard.
They have a chance to get out of the West. But I don't t hink that I'd say they're the best team in the West, either. Stephen Curry was all-world last year. He was pretty remarkable. Obviously when he was on the floor, they were very good defensively. You can unsubscribe anytime. For more details, review our Privacy Policy.
