As in, keep your dribble low. LOW!
I know you know who you are, Thunder. I bring this up because I just saw a promising rookie, Eric Bledsoe, get picked from behind by David West, because he was dribbling the ball almost shoulder-high on a double team near halfcourt. No way Bledsoe should've been picked, but he got lazy.
Good player (I just added him to one of my fantasy teams), but young players often forget how crucial it is to keep the dribble at knee-level, particularly when defenders get tight on you. Crossover? Keep it low, low, low. Double team? Get low, dribble low and take a step back to create space.
LOW.
That's the word of the day. You're welcome.
I appreciate it
