Hustle and Desire is What Puts Points on the Board!
Many players are under the misconception that they have to be a great shooter or shoot a lot in order to score. Still others are constantly being pressured and influenced into shooting more during a game by parents and/or so called "advisors". In most cases, this selfish advice is given out without regard to a total team effort or to the outcome of the game. In addition, players spend countless hours working on their shooting form and individual moves. However, players should realize that to become a proficient and consistent scorer it only requires hustle, aggressiveness and determination (not shot attempts or shooting form).
You do not have to be a great shooter to score. If you are an inside player, hustle and determination on the offensive boards will produce a least one putback shot opportunity each half. If you paly aggressively you will get fouled and go to the line at least one time per half. As a result, if you make your free throws, you have will have scored eight (8) points without taking a shot from the field.
For back court players the same results apply. If you hustle and play tough on the defensive end of the court, you will be able to steal or deflect a dribble (or pass) to a teammate and receive a return pass for an easy lay-up at least once per half. If you are aggressive and constantly move on offense, you will get fouled and go to the line at least one time per half. If you make your free throws you have will have scored eight (8) points without taking a shot from the field.
Therefore, in games when you are shooting well, you may score 15 to 30 points. On nights when you maybe shooting poorly, you will still score in double digits.
Scoring Consistency!
Coaches cannot count on "scorers" that score 20 points one game and 4 points the next. They would prefer to have a player score 10 points every game. Consistency is a characteristic found in all great players. Just take a close look at the Sonics' Gary Payton or the Lakers' Kobe Bryant or the Nets' Jason Kidd. Because of their all out hustle and determination style of play, they will achieve their basic eight points (and then some) in every game they play.
Basketball is game of habits. Become a complete play and do not expect coaches to hand out scholarships based solely on points scored. Work on your attitude, determination, and hustle in every drill in every practice. Go all out after loose balls. During a game, play every play with the same intensity as if it was the last play of a close game. Make hustle and effort your trademark.
Scoring Efficiency (P/S).
Points per shots (P/S) is a new statistic that is now being compiled and analyzed by coaches on all levels. Points per shot is an indication of a player's scoring ability, and is an important statistic for coaches' to know, especially during crunch time at the end of a game. Scoring Efficiency (P/S) is determined by: total points divided by shot attempts. Two free throw attempts = one shot attempt. There is no distinction between three point and two point field goals. Scoring Efficiency was added to the CyberSports statistic reports mainly at the request on NBA coaches.
