What is the best way to improve my handles and shot? My coach has me playing a 4 because I do not have handles! I am extremely fast and I am good at driving the lane. I would make a good 2 or 3, please give me your ideas.

1- What position do you play? I play a 2 or 3, my coach has me at 4
2- How old are you?14
3- What team do you play on?AAU and my school team
4- How long have you been involved in basketball?3 years

I'm only a year younger than you and I'm sure you've heard this a million times but you just have to keep dribbling and shooting. That's what I did and I think it works. 2 years ago I could barely dribble with my left hand, now its almost as good as my right. This is what I did.

Dribble with one hand for half an hour. Walk around Run around anything. What I did is walk around my garage and avoid obstacles and stuff.
Switch Hands.

Then when your done with that Shoot 50 shots at game speed. If you miss your 50th run a suicide. Then come back and shoot a weak hand layup. If u miss that run another suicide. Then take a foul shot. Repeat as necisary.

Then when your done with that take 100 shots how ever you want, but only shots you would take in a game

Okay well I'm like the same age and stuff but one thing I did to improve handles was have multiple people try to steal from you at once it worked last year I played every position PG SG SF PF C. Also try to do streetball moves its hard to do them so it will improve your handles. Also another idea might be to improve your vertical leap so you don't have to dribble much that was why I got to play every position vertical leap is great tool for basketball. If you want help on that just email me at [email protected]
