How Important is Scoring?
Everyone wants to score a lot of points. I did when I played, and just about everyone I coach wants to as well.
But you can have a very successful and long career by being a very good all-around player, and not necessarily being a great scorer. In fact, I checked nba.com the other day and did the math and 75% of NBA players are averaging less than 10 points a game. Pretty interesting. Just goes to prove that scoring isn't the only way to have a good basketball career.
Don't get me wrong: every player should be able to put the ball in the basket. But focus on being a very good all-around player (that can shoot, dribble, rebound, pass, and defend) and don't get too focused on just putting the ball in the basket.
