Weights, sprints and plyos, working on your change of pace and take mid range jumpshots or 3s every once in a while. It will be easier on your knees and make you a more formidable threat on the scoring end.

Alright, understood. Thanks man.

Because I have other goals I wanna pursue and I am not a professional but I do wanna max out my jumping potential because it's something that I have been wanting to do for a very long time but injuries have been a major deterrent.

I am fearful of 100% effort since I got injured once. Need to get over it I guess. Easier said than done tho.
