Default Shooting jumpers for big man.

I play the big man so I was wondering if anybody knows some moves I can do in the paint that involves shooting other than a fadeaway or a face up quick jab and then shot. well that's all i really know what to do because my mentor is tellling me to expand my game because I'm big and then when I'm inside people can't do nothing but foul me, trip me and i just sprained my ankle yesterday.

can you dunk? and if you're very big already, just o'neal drop step under the basket and dunk.

but if you want shooting moves, how about hook shots? you watch some in youtube

Nah, I'm too fat to dunk.
I'm not big big, just big at the park I play at lol. And I can probably out strength most guys at my park.
Hook shot, I got that thing on lock already.

That's all I really do though.
My moves are basically
Hook shot, Bank shot from mid range/close up, rebounding and finish, dream shake occasionally and drop step ( haven't been doing that much lately)

ok, then do what you do best. outpushing the other guys at low post and scoring. if your coach wants you to expand your game, improve on something that you cannot do, like shoot free throws or sth. spin move? but dont be too enthusiastic and start doing crossovers or other stuff meant for point guard and shooting guards.

Well the only thing i'm not that great at is @ fadeaways,
I'm not really sure how to do one exactly when I try to do it, I try to make it like Kobe's/Jordans fadeaway lol but it looks ugly and my release is like horrid when I try to do that. it's hard to master it

But I'm not just trying to stick to downlow because I'm trying to make myself a complete player, like versatile rather than just a man who limits himself to a few things. I am just expanding my game from inside to the outside.

ok if thats the case, how about midrange? practise a couple of jumpshots, floaters, and drive to the basket. work step by step from close to the basket and further. ask for help from any forwards or guards in your team for help in midrange.

as for fadeaways, kobe and jordan do it well cos they have strong legs. you need alot of power and vert to be able to do a fadeaway well, so i suggest on working on explosiveness in your legs if you are free?
