How to Be a Good Shooting Guard in Basketball

this article is how to be a good shooting guard or 2 position in basketball



1. Know when to shoot. You can't be shy about shooting the ball but at the same time you shouldn't be a ballhog. If you have an open shot, shoot it. A great shot is when your defender runs up to you with his hands down. Hands down, man down. But if you are being defended, well... don't shoot it.

2. Don't make your game one sided. Make sure to have a good variety of jumpshots and drives. Get to the line if you are a good foul shooter. Just don't make yourself predictable, keep the defense on their feet.

3. Don't forget your primary goal is to score points. Have confidence and put the ball in the basket.

4. Defense is important too. You are probably guarding the opposing team's best perimeter scorer so don't be afraid to play close defense. Don't let him drive around you though, keep yourself between him and the basket at all times.
