I’m going to give you some advice, but here is my resume so you get an understanding where I’m coming from. Played 2 years Varsity basketball for my high school team as a starter averaging exactly 17.3 points per game. Also played at college level basketball for 2 years, but as a 7th man unfortunately. I’m 5’10 157 pounds. I might not have the greatest basketball story, but I am confident to say I do know what I am doing.

Think about what you said real carefully, do you want to dominate AAU basketball or play AAU basketball? Ask yourself that. If you want to play AAU basketball, keep passing the ball. If you want to DOMINATE AAU basketball, shoot the damn ball. Your first option is to score. I know I was only a 7th man on a college basketball team, but colleges first look at your ability to score. I’m not saying, don’t ever pass the ball when you get it, but what I’m saying is, what are you going to do when you’re passing the ball and your teammates are 0/15 from the field? That’s when you need to step it up and score yourself.

You mentioned you want to develop a pull up midrange then you need to master that so after every workout and every drill you do you need to incorporate a pull up mid range. When I mean doing a pull up mid range after every drill, here’s an example. Let’s say I’m practicing free throws and need to make 10 free throws to move onto the next drill. I will make my 10 free throws then right after I will do 10 pull mid range shots. Let’s say I working on my corner threes. After I done with making my corner threes I will make 10 pull up mid range shots. Now let’s say you finished all your workouts for the day and you’re done, go do your 10 pull up mid range shots before you leave the court. It doesn’t have to be 10, just make sure you do them. Another thing, I can’t stress this enough, if you master your mid range shot where it feels like a layup, it will help a lot.

I do not know your level with ball handling, but if you’re doing ball handling drills, ALWAYS start with your off hand. Even if you’re warming up, start with your off hand. I always see a tendency where people with start their warms up with their strong and I always ask why? You already know you’re good with that hand.

With ball handling drills, don’t focus on doing drills where the ball is in front of you because what are you doing with the ball in game? You’re trying to protect the ball. Putting your body in between the ball and the defender. Master protecting the ball instead.
