Playmakers: The Player's Guide to Developing Basketball Intelligence

Through drills, situations, instruction and questioning, Playmakers: The Player’s Guide to Developing Basketball Intelligence demonstrates how to teach game awareness and basketball intelligence.
Playmakers: The Player’s Guide to Developing Basketball Intelligence explains the basic tactical skills of every offense — from pick-and-rolls to 3v2 fast breaks — but moves beyond the skill execution to the all-important perceptual, anticipatory and decision-making skills which separate the expert performers. Playmakers: The Player’s Guide to Developing Basketball Intelligence teaches tactical skills, but also develops the characteristics of a high basketball IQ player — players who:
• Choose the best option in less time;
• Adapt to ever-changing situations;
• Possess good spatial awareness;
• Know the right play at any moment relative to the time and score;
And more.
