You;re playing big man at 6'1, on varsity? Ask your coach again.

reminds me a bit of myself lol. for offence, all i do is a lot of fakes and stuff. watch kevin garnet and tim duncun. when u get the ball, dont just do ur move quickly. go slowly, throw in some pump fakes, some some spins, some fake spins etc.

practice ur down low moves, dominate ur mid range jumper and hustle for offensive boards, you gain 4-8 points under the baskets per game if u hustle for those boards.

ummm how about you practice shooting, become a guard, and be more of a slasher. with your long arms you probably wont get blocked very much and have a good chance of getting some easy layups. if you don't want to do that then just practice KG's fade away jumper. btw isnt your HS's b-ball season over yet?
