There are a few extra defensive tips that don’t necessarily correspond with a category so here are a few more quick things.
1. When playing on the ball keep your eyes on the offensive players hips and stomach, because their feet and the ball can be deceptive
2. If a taller player can easily get shots up over you, swipe the ball from their shot path before they can even rise all the way up for their shot
3. Always force the person you’re guarding towards your help
4. Always be on the balls of your feet in an athletic stance
5. Figure out how to play angles and where to cut off offensive players after you get beat
6. Work on your hustle slides and crossover steps after a player beats you or gets a step.
