Create Time & Space: 3 Ways to Get More Assists

Do you know that your passing accuracy controls shooting accuracy? The more accurate the pass, the more accurate and quicker the shot will be.

Join PGC Director Tyler Coston, as he shares 3 easy ways to get more assists.

How To Get More Assists

1. Aim Small, Miss Small

When in a game don’t pass to a person. Pick a small and specific target and you will find your passing accuracy drastically improves.

2. Pivot Out of Pressure

When attacking the basket, your teammates defender will shift over to stop you. Instead of passing to your teammate right away, stop and pivot to put the defender on your back. Now you have an open passing lane to your teammate.

3. Ball Fake & Grimace

When you put emphasis into your ball fake you are more likely to move defenders. Most players get to the end of their dribble and immediately pass to open players. We actually want to create more time at the end of our dribble. It takes a split second longer to ball fake & grimace away from where you want to pass the ball to get the defense to move. This will cause the defense to stand up, move, change their eyes before you make the pass to the open player to get their shot off.
