Too Many BIG Men Can't Score in the Post

Having a dominant player in the post is a critical asset for ANY team if they want to be successful.  So many big men in the game don't have good footwork in the paint nor are they a major threat within 8 feet of the basket. Yes, I said 8 feet.

Don't rely on size. 
Too often tall players rely only on their size in high school and then when they get to college, they find that there are a ton of tall people that simply won't allow them to "dunk" whenever they like. Not having the shooting skills nor footwork to get open IMMEDIATELY puts that player at least TWO YEARS BEHIND. In the mean time, coaches are forced to check out the JC ranks to help their program.

What to do?
1.  Videotape your game. Then videotape good college players that can score in the post and analyze their game. Replay the video in slow motion so see EXACTLY how they get open. Don't be afraid to be critical of YOUR game. A humble attitude is an athlete's BEST trait.

2. Work on your shooting mechanics. NEVER DROP THE BALL BELOW THE CHEST as you practice.

3. Shoot at game speed.

4. MAKE 5 in a ROW doing the SAME shot from the SAME distance. That will FORCE you to be consistent.
