How do I get better at playing basketball?

Question

Next year at my school I want to play. I played in 6th grade, and I didn't do too good. Well that was about 4 years ago and now I feel like I am MUCH MUCH BETTER! I'm either 5'10 or 5'11 145lbs sophomore and I want to play PG/SG. People tell me to stay down low, and I want to prove to everyone that I can play the point because I doubt I'll get to a PF/SF height. I'm great defensively and a little below average at shooting, im a beast when rebounding, and a great drive in type that will get the and1.

Answer 1

First shoot a few lay ups, and close range shots until you are making most of them in.

Then go to any location on the court ( I suggest not too far ) and shoot shots from there for about 10 minutes.

Next walk around the court shooting far 2 pointers.

After all of this you can shoot from wherever you want.

Finally repeat this routine every day that you can play basketball.
