There are many skills involved in basketball. How well a player shoots tells me a lot about the player.

Threes- 33%
Great HS Shooters
Free Throws- 80%
Mid-Range 2’s- 50%

Shooting Principles
1- Good shooters and great shooters are not born that way. They make themselves that way.
2- Everyone can make themselves into a good shooter. It takes work.
3- Players can go from being a good shooter to a great shooter but it takes even more work.
4- The secret of becoming a good shooter is repetition.
5- The secret of a good shooter becoming a great shooter is repetition.
6- If a player can’t meet the percentages to be considered a good shooter, it tells me that the player has failed to put in the off-season reps.
7- Most psychologists say it takes 10,000 reps to become an expert. That should be the off-season shooting goal.
8- Players who cannot become at least a good free throw shooter (70%) at some point becomes a liability for good teams.
9- Players who cannot become at least a good three point shooter (33%) probably won’t play on championship teams.
10- How a player shoots tells me about what their off-season commitment has been!
