Do you practice at game speeds?

Going through the motions is one thing, but if you really want to improve as a ball player, you have practice at game speed and game intensity.

Think about the last time you went out to shoot around and work on your game. Did you shoot some lazy jump shots, do some half speed dribbling drills, then call it a day? Did you feel like you'd really worked on your game?

To really become the player you want to be, you have to push yourself and practice with high intensity. Practicing at game speeds is a key to improving your game.
