You should work on your height. Try to get to like 6'10" and you'll be a beast

some of the dudes on NT are unbelievable....arm-chair ballers.
you are talented...you have the height and athletics to be a great basketball player...from here on its all mental...hit the weights a little (lightly--don't hurt your growth), work on your jumper, stay out of trouble and do good in school.
don't go too hard in pick-up games when you're playing for fun because you don't want to get injured....try to outshine everyone on D---go the extra effort, hands waving, up close to the face, chest to chest up the court, deflections etc.---this will give you more shine than a 35 pt game..
with some work you can definitely play College ball and from there who knows...
P.S. develop a trash talking game if you have some swagger to you...it will boost your confidence and give you an edge...only do this if you have confidence in your game and are the type where haters and doubters fuel you...all good basketball players talk some mean trash... (you're young so be careful and don't disrespect elders, and keep it all on the court take nothing off court).

along with getting quicker i think you need to speed up the release on your jumper... its like you're shooting it RIGHT AFTER you peak and remember... you're only 6'4" thats not that tall for real for real young
you got the athleticism though, just try and get quicker and develop a go to move a la step back, post-fade, etc.
good luck young, got a couple boys overseas and a couple trying to get there... its a GREAT look

that was my only "criticism" as well. you look like a man amongst boys. with your size, and obviously game, i dont think theres any reason why you cant play college ball.
good luck man and keep workin.

Caerus Thanks, I wish they could have put a couple of clips of me hitting the open man, I definitely try to do that when its there. IF I get another one I'll make sure to try and get some of that in there
Julian Wright Hahah yeaa, vegetables and sleep is what they tell me.. Hope I can grow into my 7' wingspan
copped Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm definitely going to try to zero in on what it is that I can do to set myself apart from the rest. Alot of guys I've played against have been more talented, I feel like just working the hardest on the floor at all times could be a part of what it is I do.
PUSHA C That's another thing I've been told about.. Im trying to work on my release a bit, just trying to get away from whats comfortable and get into whats more effective
GMSboy1 Kind of, that was the first game of the season.. I had on 23 early in the game and got blood on my jersey so I had to wear 44 for the rest of that one game
supahoopa Yeahh, thanks.. I was one of those guys that always got put inside because I was the biggest but I knew at one point I'd have to slide to the wing.. Now that Im getting my guard skills down Im just working on that mentality, reading screens and movement without the ball, etc.
jthagreat I appreciate the encouragement, Im definitely gonna keep working at it
Thanks for all the compliments and criticisms.. Greatly appreciated

Wait, Rook aren't Buc Em and Caerus both your SNs? Posting twice?
But the tape was solid. Would like to see more perimeter scoring or just more vid on your shooting from the outside. I don't remember seeing you use your left hand at all in the whole video. Your ball handling is definitely something that you can continue to work on. If you're only 16 I'd take advantage of that prep school year if you have ambitions of playing at a higher level. If you decide to prep you should try to play for a team on the summer circuit this year that would probably help you get more looks.
Your biggest weaknesses look to be your ball handling and the fact that you aren't particularly quick or fast.

you are doing better things than I was doing at 16, more power to you bro!
As afore mentioned work on your game off your dribble, being a defensive minded player will also take you places.
Dont be cocky ever! be humble and try to create offense around you, like John Wall.
