Basketball players help!!!

Question

okay so I'm a really good 3 point shooter for my team. but then I am too scared to drive. Whenever I thik I have an open lane usaually ill try to take it by just doing a jumpstop in the lane half of the time th ball gets stolen from behind and the other half is that the center will swat my ball in the stance. How can I work on my in game quikness and ballhandling and moves to the basket. My friend who is quick told me to just take a ball and dribble. But thats kinda crappy advice. What would you do if you were me. Please help. thanks.

Answer 1

got the same problem

Answer 2

I play the point guard position and I am currently developing the skill to drive. I'm 4'11 and 14 years old but that doesn't stop me from getting 2 points in the paint. My advice to you is to run alot, do 100 squats daily, and purchase yourself a pair of ankle weights so you can develop strength in your legs. Ankle weights will also make it much easier to develop quickness when you are driving to the hole
