Another district win for the Junior Thunder team, 75 – 47.
Takeaways:
- This is a game of runs, the boys go up by a lot, then off the pedal, then on the pedal. They gotta have the consistency to their approach. The videos will show you the run they made and how the team recovered
- Their full court press is easy to beat, if playing a 1-2-2 full court press, you need to have your last two anticipate the passing lanes, overplay once the guards have decided on which side to force
- I saw one kid break the PR press from coast to coast going through 4 guys, not acceptable …. always stop the guy with the ball!
- Still a lot of outside threes I’ve noticed, they look like the Houston Rockets out there. If they want to do that, there’s gotta be more penetration and dish to players moving without the ball around the arc
- Lazy defense, we rely too much on the around-the-back steal as opposed to facing the opponent head on and using our feet to beat them to the spot they want to go
- The rebounding does not create a ‘dome’ like space around the basket. The boys constantly get sucked in either forced to take it out of bounds because they scored a basket and there’s no rebound or players end up tapping the ball out which usually ends up on the opponents had for a put back. Body first before the ball! We gotta bang guys when they try to enter the key and get low, start driving those legs to push rebounders out of the key
- Focus on finishing strong in the paint at the peak of vertical. I see guys altering their shot and sort of bailing out and avoiding contact
