Most basketball players love to play their own style. Always playing the isolation is a great way to know your limits being guarded by a single coverage. This practices your one-on-one skills and helps you become a great offensive player. In getting used to this style, you take away your knowledge in playing through the team’s system and you’ll be more prone to errors because you and your teammates could not execute a play perfectly. Unfortunately, your coach won’t call an isolation play for you all the time and you might see yourself next to him sitting, watching as your teammates execute a play.
These things can be prevented by learning all the things a player should do on offense. If you internalize these tips and make them happen on the court you will see more playing time.
1. Keep the ball moving
An offense is at its best when the ball is constantly moving. Instead of dribbling down the court, try to look for an open teammate to pass to. You can advance the ball much quicker by passing it than you can by dribbling it. Always remember this and try to keep the ball moving. When the ball stops the defense rests.
2. Make sure passes
Moving the ball is a good way to breakdown the defense. You frustrate the defense which will lead to open looks for your teammates. But when your opponent is great at switching on who to defend, you should be careful because those passes could lead to turnovers. Especially those dangerous passes like the outlet pass and cross-court pass. It is okay to do it once in a while, but as the game goes, opponents will eventually read what you are doing and you have to be more and more careful about making sure your pass doesn’t get deflected or stolen away.
3. Look for the best shot possible
Instant offense is great as an energy booster for any team. But doing it constantly ruins the flow of an offense and gives you a reputation of being selfish. When you take an early shot it’s likely that you don’t have any of your post players established down low to try and get a rebound. If you miss it gives the opposing team fast break opportunities and you’ll get an ear-full from your coach as. Just bring the ball down slowly. Patiently move the ball around and eventually there will be open teammates who are set up to shoot without a man in their face.
4. Move without the ball
If you’re the type of player that stands in one place waiting for a pass, then opponents would love to play against you every day because they don’t have to exert much effort in guarding you. You need to be the aggressor. Run through screens, post-up, set picks or just do anything to keep moving. In addition to getting your defender tired, you will also learn how he defends you and eventually you will find a way to get open in order to create a shot. Standing around accomplishes nothing.
5. Be at the right place at the right time
When executing a play, every player is assigned to be in a particular spot. You need to be aware of that. Always study every play because forgetting some of it would lead to miscommunication and the offense will not be successful.
