Center I really feel should be the best local scorer on your. He is going to be your go to guy in the inside. When you need basket and you have got and your best chance to scoring inside you got to go to your center. I think, he is one that has to be able to understand where and how to get position and when to score. When to pass it out, for three or to an open team mate for middle inch jumper and he is also I think to the real heart thing for good center standard to understand is play slow. A lot of times they want to get the ball and go right away. If they play slow they can setup their teammates or they also have a better change to scoring them selves and be able to take advantage which way the defense is playing them. Good instincts have one to dive into the post and when the player opposes defender.
What we meant by that? Dive in the pose, you have to know when the timing is everything you might be on this side of the court as a five men the ball is over here defenders here this is not a very good time with the ball in other half of the court to be finding us guy for position is it. Stand up and relax.
What just happened is somebody came down and scream for this guy. He comes up ball comes here, now all of a sudden you take a little dive and fight like a madman to seal and get position. Does that make sense? Do not burn all your energy fighting for position at the wrong time. By the same token; you have to know when to go to the ball. If you wait for the ball to come to you so, you are going to have long strikes of not getting the ball in your hand. So if you are the five men, ball just get passed to this side and you have anybody here in opposed maybe the four guys high cheat and dive into that block right there or right here. That is what it means by diving into the post. Go to the ball if you want to shoot ball you want a position you have to go to the ball. Has to be a low post-threat, have to have a low post moves. More often denied this are more finesse moves like hook shots, jump hooks, fade away, those are finesse type of moves.
Not always a case, the best finesse center of all time was who? Without question clear Karim Abdul Jabbar was far about the mind line of the best defense of center all times. Just without question. Tremendously player had great hook shoots nobody could touch was not physically very strong but it was physical presence because of his height but tremendous touch around the basket. It is a bonus if you also have power moves, is it not?
Sure later in Karim’s career he put on, about 20-25 pounds he was not so thin. He had a muscles body filled out a little bit and he actually were getting the post start to turn one-way defender would cut him off in the middle and he will do a drop step and do a little put back into the basket so, you got better oppose moves post power moves if this clear one on.
He is one of the team’s better scorers. Definitely, a go to guy. When you need point in the paint this has to be person nine out of 10 times. If you have a tall center and it is descent I have seven foot center of my team in high school, great guy, but very thin was not much of a opposed player. He can get often and rebound and put him back in. Had good agility they have no physical strength had work on a finance game to push himself away from the defender so he was limited to getting offense and board or taking open shots he was not really our go to guy and so that is one criteria. Typically, you want them to be. Good interior and exterior passer has to be able to throw a good pass back out to guards small forwards, point guards who ever is open. The better passer your center is the better your team is going to be. Because a lot of offenses revolved around that position in the blocks. Where we have down there. So, they can hit people along the perimeter on the outside that is definitely to your advantage. You have a post player here, you got help defense this person is collapsed. If you can see this person comes all the way down here this defender comes all the way down there. Teammates open you got a center that can see that and throw that pass for a testing shoot. That is a great passing center, is it not coach. They can throw that skip pass, this is a little skip passed. That is something that can be practiced to work on. As far as post play goes there are couple simple rules, so lower you are the bigger you are, the stronger you are, and the quicker you are. Farther reason for this, is when you get low and wide in the post you cannot get push-out. And when you are low and wide in the post and you go to make a move you are already down you do not need to bend to start your move and you are ready to go. If you need to jump, you already loaded your legs are loaded you are ready to spring up and you deeply stronger because it is a lot harder to push you out when your center of gravity moves lower to the ground and you open up you become a much bigger target a much bigger player. Centers are good for having quick head and a bounce place. They are big targets they are enclosed to the basket sometimes you would not get the defense where they fall a sleep and you get quick basket that way.
