I see a lot of people here, me included, and they're so obsessed with techniques and the new pick up information. I use to check up on this subreddit everyday getting new info feeling like an expert, but I wasnt doing any pick ups or approaches. If you want to get good at basketball, you're not going to read a book or ask people for advice, you're most likely just going to find a net and start shooting. Even if you suck, you're still going to sink a few shots, and as time goes on you begin to sink more and more, youll never get 100% of the shots in but you'll make a great improvement and thats what i think pick up is all about. Lately I've just been doing it and trying to think as little as possible. I've had much more success than I thought I would. So all I have to say is just try, you'll get better and probably surprise yourself.
