if your still having trouble makin the distance which is unlikely jsut start with push ups for a few weeks then if you dont feel your gettin stronger go for some light weights. but better workin with body weight chin ups will help even more but good form beat out the amount of reps.

Alright, this is what i use in games..... if you watch AI in games when he's driving to the lane, he doesnt bring the ball down, he keeps it at face level, there is a shorter time spand between your face to shooting the ball, it is hard for a defender to time there block. You also have more control with the ball and you can watch the hands coming at the ball....... also you need to learn how to roll the ball and use spin on the ball with the glass

silk, since vert might be your weak point, I'd practice all out shots, and some fast crosses, its sometimes harder for tall guys to block smaller guys if they got smooth handles

as a general rule of thumb the big guys are usually slower than the smaller guys. even though im 6 foot i learnt to play as a small guy and was always one of the smallest on my teams etc etc. big guys are suckers for fakes or at least over here anyway. a neat little fake pass or shot will work wonders because that is what they expect you to do. a smaller guy will always be mroe agile than a big guy and that is always. use it to your advantage you will find easier to do some crazy spinny lay up using your two steps to your best ability than they will find it to keep track of you when you do it. get me?
also the obvious one your speed the main weapon of any small guy. get your momentum up and blow by him with a sweet little crossover without slowing down they wont stand a chance. most importantly make sure when you go up for the lay up your using the right technique and maximising the amount you are protectig the ball. so keep your hands on the ball until the very last moment and keep your body inbetween his and the ball. you shouldn't go far wrong with that really

yo so tall people use your ass and hustle them and short people cross em up and shoot... Logic, The part where you say big people are suckers for fakes, that reminds me of the quote "All brawn no brain." Lol but anyway.

So:
Bigger peoples CONS

-slow with reactions
-will fall for fakes easily
-are slower than short.

Bigger Peoples PROS

-Strong
-Ass hustlin
-pushy

Short peoples CONS

-Short
-easy to block
-weak
-pushovers

Short people PROS

-Fast (agile)
-fast reactors

bein short aint always that bad, most short people can dribble and outrun bigger people, so basically if ure a short person always try pushin the ball

just play to your advantages and use fakes and shizzle and you'll do fine. if a big man is all over you he will jump to try and get the check because generally shooting with a 6 foot 8 beast in front of you isnt a great idea. throw hima fake hell be all over it like a rash trying to check you into the ground just use your speed and get round him after you're fake it'll all be good
