Basketball IQ Drills

Keys to Increasing Basketball IQ

“Basketball is 90% MENTAL and 10% physical!”

This statement is true!

Basketball IQ is knowing the game - not like the typical TV watcher. But knowing the game. Knowing what has happened. Knowing what will happen. Knowing what you can make happen.

I think that if you are smart and tough that you can be a very successful player at most any level.

Now, if you add skill to the equation it makes you a pretty dangerous player!

So......how do you work on your Basketball IQ?

One way is to study very successful high school, college or NBA players.

1) Watch how they make decisions and choices on the floor.

2) How they use screens, set screens.

3) How they handle the ball with pressure.

4) How they pass the ball.

5) How they run the floor and move without the ball.

6) How they defend on the ball.

7) How they defend off the ball.

8) How they communicate verbally and non-verbally on the court.

9) How they execute plays.

10) How they box out and rebound the ball.

Study the game. Learn it. Increase your basketball IQ.
