11 Dribbles and 37 Points. What?

College basketball is back!

What a great opportunity to learn set plays, clock management, inbounds, time and score, substitutions, and skills too.

Grayson Allen used 11 dribbles to score 37 points last night.
8 points of the 37 came from the FT line.

​He had possessions with no dribbles, 1 dribble, or 2 dribbles. That tells me two things:
#1 Efficient use of the dribble
#2 Moved without the ball in his hand.

The ability to score at all three levels is important and something that players can develop with purposeful practice and training.

Level #1 - At the rim
Level #2 - Midrange - Jump Shots off 1 or 2 dribbles
Level #3 - 3 Pointers
