jimmer?



[korshole]

That wasn't helpful to me with senior boys:(

[gryphus001]

i know there's a mistake in this video

[gryphus001]

where will the power forward be if the center is posting up on low post area?

[gryphus001]

@Hallberg95 one of important role of center is to open their ways so shooting guards or small forwards can drive to the basket

[Hallberg95]

its impossible for someone to drive to the basket when the centers are in the way like that.

[Sietze10]

yeah, follow the ball. nowbody can go inside because the center is in the their way.

[jomastretch]

yeah your right. seems like it would clog the line the whole time. only works if you are specifically looking for the post player.

[wowwhiner]

wouldnt that just make it harder to drive in for the wingmen with the center dragging another defender into the bunch
