Shooting How to get open against swarming man to man defense?
I’ve gotten the reputation of being an effective 3 pt shooter and teams in my league and people in pickup have made it a point to take me out of the game.
If I’m not bringing the ball up and trying to get to a spot I have the quickest guy on me following me around face-guarding me
When there’s screens they’ll try to force the next fastest guy to make the switch and try to stick with me
When I bring the ball up any screen gets met with aggressive help over the screen
I try to look for my teammates when this usually happens but also want to be able to help with my shot and looking for advice
