Accy, the play at 1:28 (long vid) is a good example of what I talk to you about sometimes, where you stay stationary and pass down through defenders from the high post. I think it's a better option on plays like this, where you're high and there's a low option, to take a dribble or two (you've got a nice lane across the keyway to the right, your strong side), draw the defenders and then look for either the layup or a dump off. Both are higher percentage options than the longer high-low pass.</div><div><br></div><div>I am 100% happy to take constructive criticism if anyone has any.

I think 1080 might help seeing the 'other side' of the court. sometime <br>
it's hard to see what's going on on the non-camera side of the court.<br>

I noticed that a bit. And also how we collapse quite a bit and just wind <br>
up under the bucket.. Something else I need to look at.<br>
