How much you develop this offseason is going to come down to how well you can plan for the role you’ll be filling next season. A great way to start that off is by narrowing down the skills that you’ll need into one of these four lanes:
1. Decision-making: this is going to come from a multitude of situations like certain actions, driving through gaps, finishing the rim, or dumping it down to your teammates, etc.
2. Shot-making: shot-making is going to be contested finishing, being able to, or I guess contested shooting, being able to create your shot in general.
3. Handling: this is going to be handling pressure, both off the dribble and off the catch, traps, full court man-to-man, etc.
4. Defending your position: this is going to be either perimeter defense or post defense, navigating through screens, etc.
