[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other price of advice here that aren’t foolproof but can help:

(1) Train for a specific skill set you can be great at. Spending a ton of time at the gym trying to get Kyrie’s bag isn’t going to be useful for most players. If you can shoot lean into that. If you are tall and can protect the rim and rebound, lean into that.

(2) Communicate what you think your player can add before the tryouts to the coach so they know what to look for in your player. Ideally this should come from the player and don’t set unrealistic expectations you can’t meet at the tryout. Attending a cattle call tryout without prior talking to the coaches is a recipe for failure unless your player pops athletically or in terms of size. [/quote]

Again, depends on the school.  My 6’2” freshman was a 50% three point shooter in games (averaged 3 threes a game in MS), but kinda weak on ball handling.  He had a big vertical and started dunking in 8th grade, so he made the freshman team at his school. He didn’t get moved up until he improved his handles a LOT b/c the coach couldn’t trust him with the ball with weak handles because too many kids are too good at poking the ball away.  [/quote]
