How to Find YOUR Play Style as a Hooper

as a casual hooper who wants to improve while just like playing pickup I feel like it's hard to find a player with a similar frame bc I'm 6'2 and scrawny but most the people I've played with at like park pickup runs aren't elite hooper heights so at times I'm the tallest guy on the court at 6'2 so I feel like I'd be wasting it to lean full guard but if I play like a forward and start playing bigger hoopers then I'm gonna be way undersized. should I view NBA heights/frames in a vacuum or do I take it in context and look for someone comparable to where I stand among normal people frame wise

What if I can do it all 😔

Any recommendations for undersized guard but plays like a pf

I’m explosive and fast but I’m more of a shot creator player I watch pg and shai,garland as a small guard but I struggle on my shooting I have the ball handle
And my confidence gets lost so I pass up the ball

I like to pass a lot and im a lockdown defender, im not a good shooter but im a decent finisher and im good at floaters and im a amazing shotblocker what type of players do i play like/what should i train.

My playstyle is similar to A.I i prefer doing lay up and am always good at ball dribbles and i can guard tall guys but am weak and pretty fast and agile

man i love this game. hard to find places to play in england tho

Dame,I have lost my mind as an inside player,I really want to make some changes

Ain't I know that play like me, I'm 5'5, non-athletic, about 94 kg (207 lbs), low post player, and my go to is a my right hand hook from like, I'd say anywhere from 6 to 14 feet out, and a weird side step/stepback from the right elbow and right handed floaters from like 7-12 feet out, other than that, I can't score, so...😅
Edit: But I do be good on defense tho, I'd say I have good hands and instincts to compensate for my lack of athleticism and height

Im a righty but I shoot with my left hand and I feel more comfortable shooting on the left side, but except that im a shooter/copy cat type of player

i'm most comfortable driving to the basket on my right. im right handed. i can also drive and play make in the paint or outside the 3 point linre. and if i have to i will catch and shoot the ball. i have no left tho.

im a pass first player im very offball and most people tell me i play to much like steph even tho im not even trying to play like him its not like im getting a billion screens ive been told to run around get open and shoot threes while sometimes driving in and being told to fake it and dump it off to the big man or shoot a quick floater. the new team i just joined is fitting me into a role where i take care of the ball more at this point idk who i play like and am trying to find the most efficient playstyle for me

I dont have a play style, I just see who I'm playing against in the first quarter and adjust in the last 3

The truth is I want to be an all around player but being a PG or SG or SF is what I can play for sure. So I’ll master that.

So do you have a email that I can send you full video of my play… and just give me a breakdown on my play style??

Jesus Christ is real and he’s coming back. He’s coming back with all his angels and it’s not gonna be like the first time. He’s come to take his people. So please, try your best to create a relationship with him because we don’t have that much time. Those who get left behind will suffer God’s judgement. I’m not saying this to scare you but I saying this to warn and prepare you. Stop taking life how all the degenerates make it seem like, pick up your cross and follow Jesus ❤

Great video!I'm a casual player but I love the game.A few weeks ago a player told me my style was very vintage.It's the case and I'm not athletic and very slow.I go for mid range ,I shoot from deep at times .My go to move is the floater, or hook shot.I try to grab as many rebounds as I can ,I love hustle and old players like Kevin McHale ,Larry Bird or Jeff Ruland .I favor catch and shoot

I play like a point forward middy specialist

“Take but don’t copy”
Kobe: Huh????

One thing ik about my game is I’m a dead eye shooter trynna improve my handle but I’m best when I use my floater and drive

I’m a driving guy. I love bullying my way into the paint and drawing a foul or getting a bucket. I can also shoot the 3 and pull up jumpers. My coach makes plays where I can’t do any of that and I don’t know whether I should just follow the plays or I should use what I’m good at. We aren’t allowed to dribble or drive ourselves unless we’re wide open

I model my game of of russ, ja , fox and kyrie
my strengths are midranges dribbling finishing and playmaking and that I got alot of vert and speed
But I want to lean more to my post and fades and spin jumpers wdy guys think

I fucking suck at everything

Ima the most weird cuz i have elite finishes under the rim im slow as a turtle can't shoot i have the deepest bag of passes in my team and the most creative and im a center 😂☠

I noticed something i'm pretty good at is backing down a defender, doing a handoff, then immediately curl to the wing for a 3 for some effing reason. I also noticed i need to take atleast one one dribble to be more effective shooting anything beyond 20ft. If I have a speed advantage to my defender I just attack right and drive for a lay up, fingeroll or floater. If they are laterally a lot quicker then I attack left since they are positioned defensively to stop my dominant side, and go for a mid range pull up, floater, or one legged banker. Also am decent at going baseline and beating a defender for a reverse. I tend to struggle to make plays for others after taking 5 or more dribbles(internal panic), and passes out of double teams that happen in the corner. I do a pretty good job finding people who are in the motion for an effective cut or curl. Usually not the primary ball handler in 5 on 5s, but I set good screens, roll effectively and can either pull up from mid range or find someone who is open in the corner as the defense collapses.

I have honestly never thought to ask this question. THANK YOU GUY.

I am sad rn bro the filipino genes might stop my growth i am 5'4 currently 12 yrs old

My playstyle is wanna be curry but never train

I’m good at driving to the basket and shooting threes but I barely shoot the midrange shot

Hey hooper community, I'm looking for tips, recently went from being the tallest kid on the team and playing center in U15, to trying to expand into either small or power forward. I'm not the buffiest kid, but I can shoot mid range, but also play off the rebound. Any tips? I am also a really good team player and have an eye for setting up team mates who cut off of picks or after passes etc, really trying to decide between power and small forward. Also, what kind of things should I be focussing on and any drill ideas for dribbling as someone whose style is to shoot off of passes or play with momentum. I have a tuff time creating the momentum... any tips?

Coleman, at what age should athletes start looking at play style ? My son is 14 and has been boxed in to play "center" due to his height he is now 6'1 and I am trying to develop his guard skills but I still have no idea what play style he might be. I was curious if this is something you look at when you are 16/17 or even earlier ?

I am marcus smart defense with michael jordan midrange shot and 3s. (nowhere close to their level)

My Best way to play is like Jonh Stockton Style where I prefer a nice assist to a bucket. I fell happy and enjoying more the game playing like that.

Im 5'6-5'7 and 13 and i can touch backboard is that good or should i be jumping higher?

im just your everyday aggressive finisher who's kinda shifty

I'm fast and can grab rim on ten foot (I'm 14, 5'7) I wanna work on that spin thing so I can get past people easy and drive to the rim, maybe I will have a fast paced play style

I got that “no bag” play style 💀

I shoot with my left hand but I always drive right and can never go left I don’t know why🙁

You are amazing!!

Top video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

First pass person but my teammates want me to be shooting guard🤣

I’m 5’6” with a decent handle, great passing vision/IQ, great midrange game, above average, but streaky 3PT shooter, and a great off-ball/team defender, and usually a great on-ball defender against most players.
My play style is corner/wing 3s off the catch, dribble pull ups, fades, turn around jumpers, bank shots, drive & kicks, setting up the offense through Pick & Roll, iso midrange, off-ball center cuts, constant boxouts, hands always active on and off the ball, post defense, being an off-ball pest, and especially attacking out of the Triple Threat etc.

Still tons of room to grow, like I’d love to be a confident finisher—

The players I’ve always studied:
- Chris Paul
- Jrue Holiday
- Jimmy Butler
- Joel Embiid
- Steph Curry
- Luka Doncic
- Marcus Smart
- TJ McConnell
- Andre Miller
- Kyrie Irving
- Kobe Bryant
- Nikola Vucevic
- PJ Tucker
- Carmelo Anthony

I'm kinda good at catch and shoot, but to be able to perform well I kinda rely on my teammates, as simple as if they didn't give an opportunity to shoot my shot then I unable to perform well, and I wanna change my playstyle which mean I wanna standing on my own.

i am very defensive, always go for the steal, will do anything to get the ball and lock the attacker. I can be really fast in seconds and sprint a lot, i have good stamina, i have power for my height and weight (5’7 149lb) and i can do solid passes and get teammates open.

now in the offensive side, i feel like i got good takes and speed but my finish is bad, ball always bounces from the board and sometimes i just shoot it with no accuracy when being guarded in front of my eyes, my shooting is not so bad but i can only shoot comfortably and id say it has the odds of flipping a coin. something that i do have is the will to do what it takes and to take advice, please if you read this give me your opinion and advice.

i been playing ball for like 1 year tho

im great at mid range shooting especially on the right side as well as a floater, who uses in and outs and spin moves get space for my 5’11 build. my passing ability is what mu friends think of though

Im bad at shooting but better in layups I don’t really struggle driving but when going for a layup with my left I struggle with it. I really love shooting so I’m practicing to be a better shooter. The best way I can score is layups I like layups but not as much as shooting. I also struggle with dribbling with my left.

After watch this i realize i was KD midrange with Luka Atlethicism
