I’m sure this won’t go well with some people but the US model of basketball is broken in regards to youth skill development and focus on rankings. Possible 3 best players in world (Giannis, Jokic and Luka) probably could have cared less about rankings or even known there were

After weekend coaching sons 6/7th grade aau team I’m even more in the belief that skills need to be developed and concepts taught.Too much zone and win at all costs.What does it matter to win a youth tourney but when get to HS can’t shoot pass dribble understand spacing guard etc

Young HS kids. Watch the college game and what is missing way too often. It’s the ability to shoot. Lock yourself in a gym and rep that jumper out until you’re the best shooter you can possibly be. Too many players can’t shoot and limit their careers because of it.

One of Suggs best attributes I’ve seen early is willingness to throw ahead as a point guard. It makes guys want to run the floor. They get rewarded then flattens the floor to attack when you want because defense has to honor throw ahead. Solid balance of the two for young PG
