coaches look for consistent players. im sure you've heard this a lot, but it is important that you keep your game steady. (ex. i have jamal crawford on my fantasy team who hits up to 35 points a game, but is very inconsistent, and thats why i dropped him). also, as much as they might look for height, they focus on skill more\n\nalso, they also look for other tiny things such as: not giving them attitude, giving them attention when they talk, trying your best, listening.. etc\n\nbtw thanks for your advice, and i have some more advice to give to you regarding ur other question. when you get the ball, get in a comfortable position and relax, like take a deep breath and remind yourself that you dont need to rush. next, since you are a good shooter, try this move: make a large step forward into ur opponent with ur right leg (if u are right handed) and pretend to drive, then back up and drain that sucka. becareful not to step too far though, otherwise ull be slow in pulling back up.

If your folks can swing the cost, Point Guard College is one of the best things you can do to increase your PG skills.  The college deals with the mental part of the game as well as the skills.  It is structured like no other bball camp you've ever attended or will.  We sent our daughter, and it was amazing.  She came home with 40 pages of notes and was dog tired, but it took her already good skills to a whole new level.  (BTW, she just signed a full ride basketball scholarship, so she knows the game.)  As for drills, aside from on the court, in your bed, make sure that you are throwing a tennis ball up in the air and catching it (both hands).  It is great for hand-eye coordination.  Also, buy or make some glasses that hide the floor from sight.  It forces you to keep your head UP looking at the court and team, an absolute necessity for a PG.  Good Luck!!  \n\nPoint Guard College link:  http://www.pointguardcollege.com/

Pick&Roll\nOkay have you stand on the right side of the court. Designate a point guard and a post player based on heigth, speed, rebounding, and handles abilities. Use the pick-and-roll. Have the post player roll to the right. And at the same time the point guard dribble in. The point guard now has three options based on who's open: dump it off to your post player, pass out to you, or take it himself, all depending on the open man. It's almost guaranteed someone will be open.\n\nGive&Go\nOkay, have your post player come to about the free throw line, have your point guard pass it to him. Immediately after the point guard passes the ball, have him sprint toward the hoop and have the post player pass it in for the easy lay-up. This play may only work once or twice in a game because it's key element is suprise.\n\nIssolation\nThe most simple play there is. Have your best player or a mismatched play take his defender one on one. If they double: pass, if not: shoot or drive.

Depends on your scoring setup.  Do you know if it's a Head-to-head league, Rotisserie league, or total points?  I've been playing for about 7 years now, consider myself to be very good.  If you have any questions send me an IM on the yahoo messenger.  my ID is phillwarner

By me being a shooting guard, tht's easy. You don't have to be the best shooter on the floor to be a star. It would help, but that's all of it. Just work hard on ball handling, speed, and watching the court. \nWalk around with a basketball EVERYWHERE you go; just dribbling, crossing, all kinds of stuff. \nAnd, with your speed, just do Suicides, timing your runs, and do leg exercises. It only doesn't help your speed, it helps your jump. So, you won't just have to play the top, you can get down with the big guys and grab rebounds. \nWith watching the court, you just have to click with your teammates and know how their game is on the court. You have to know exactly how they come cross the court, how they like their passes made to them, and KEEP EYE CONTACT!!!!! Most important! No matter what, you have to have eye contact on your teammate so that the passes are on point. Also, to watch for players running for the ball, what I do is look my opponent DIRECTLY in the eye, if I see one of my players starting to make a cut, look at them and hit them with the assist.\nBasically, that's all the tips I can give you on that.

Hmm.. that's hard..\nAnyway whis is what I got..\n\nC - late 90s Shaquille O'Neal (You know Wilt might be the answer because he got a 100, but do you think the defense we have now was there in the 60s?)\n\nPF - Tim Duncan from 2002 (They say he's the best power forward ever so I'm picking him. Plus he's a great team leader.)\n\nSF - Larry Bird (Small Forwards need to hit the three, and Larry is perfect for the spot. Plus he can dish too.)\n\nSG - Michael Jordan (Do you think there should be a reason for this?)\n\nPG - Magic Johnson (He has the same ability of a point guard, but his added height gives him the edge.)\n\nBench:\n\n4 Guards:\nJohn Stockton\nSteve Nash \nGeorge Gervin\nGary Payton(in the 90s, we need a strong backcourt defender)\n\n3 Forwards:\nKevin Garnett(no doubt he is the most versatile player I know.)\nScottie Pippen(When him and Jordan are in the court, almost unstoppable)\nKarl Malone(Stockton needs a man who can pass to, and Karl is perfect for the job)\n\n1 Center(We have plenty of big men so one center is enough)\nWilt Chamberlain(Like I said, 100 points)

do push ups and crunches, dont lift weights cause it will throw your shot off alot more. dont bulk up cause a point gaurd is supposed to be fast. heart and determination beat size and strength any day. "Pistol" Pete Marovich was 5'3" 90 pounds starting as an 8th grader on varsity and he could do it cause he pushed him self to be the best ballhandler and passer on the court at any givin time. oh yeah shoot 100 to 200 jumpers after every time you work out. just cause your a point guard doesnt mean you cant be a good shooting point gaurd

Play as much as you can, pick up games, 21, any type of competition. Start with defense and rebounding, your shot will come later, the team needs boards and D. Practice free throws and develop your shot, watch basketball and get into shape.

I think you may need steals on this team.  Your pretty much set at 3 pt FG's.  Also, if there is any player that you may trade at this point in the season, I would look at Hill and Eddy Curry.  Hill has a propensity for getting injured (I know because he has burned me in my fantasy teams in the past) and Curry who is capable to getting 10 rebounds one night and 2 rebounds the next.

I play center. I won our team 3-point shoot-out.So thats saying something. Not many centers can light it up from 3-point range.

Well, the first thing in Fantasy basketball is to pick players that will produce consistently in Points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals, Blocks, Turnovers, and 3-PT Goals. You don't have bad players, but you really don't have any big producers that are consistent other than Tim Duncan, Lamar Odom, and Kirk Hinrich. Adam Morrison is OK, but being a rookie, he's going to be up and down this year. \n\nI'd consider going after a point guard that dishes more assists (maybe Deron WIlliams), a quality shooting guard, and look to upgrade at your Center or Power Forward position. Dalembert, Dampier, and Swift just won't do it. You need consistency in each key stat. Start with one main player in each position and then fill in the rest after that with quality players.

wow, i think you mean defense.  but hey here ya go.. there are littlary tons of different variabtions of these.  Some ill give ya are, man to man, 2-3 zone, 1-3-1 zone, 2-1-2 zone, 1-2-2 zone, half court trap, full court trap, box, box and 1, triagle and 2, full court man, run and gun, lack defense (like Grinnell), pressure D, Switching screens, but the one of the best defenses is a great offense...(and visa versa)

Their is no camp to learn point guard skills.  Point guards are born, not taught.  Being a "1" is instinct and can't be taught.  Take a look at your players and see who can control the tempo of your team, score when the team is not scoring, get the ball to the right guy at the right time, and put the players in the right positions in your half court sets.  That is probably your point.  To improve his skills, incorporate some passing, shooting and dribbling drills into your practices.  Include free throw shooting as one of the shooting drills.  If he's going to be a "1" he must be able to make free throws coming down the stretch.
