Getting others involved is an important part of being a team player. But you must ask yourself: &nbsp;are you still remaining a threat on the floor?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;Let&#8217;s look at it from a defensive perspective:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you were defending a quicker player who drives a lot, you would give them just enough room to prepare for the drive.<\/li>\n<li>If you were guarding a shooter, you would ensure to have a hand to the ball and contest the shot.<\/li>\n<li>If you were playing defense on someone that passes the ball and not looking to score, you would lay off and try to intercept passes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><br \/>Key Point: Over passing can lead to your defender helping cover more of the floor because they do not see you as a threat.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s now look at it from an offensive perspective.<\/p>\n<p>If you are passing just to pass, then you may be hurting your team. Passing should be used for the following reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To advance the ball towards the basket or up the court<\/li>\n<li>To get a higher percentage shot<\/li>\n<li>To get the defense shifting for open shots and layups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><br \/>Key Point: Attacking the basket and looking at the rim for a&nbsp;shot will not only benefit you, but your teammates as well. Defenders will become more focused on&nbsp;you scoring and making plays, allowing your teammates to become more open for shots.&nbsp; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To become a great passer and scorer at the same time, players need to think shot (look to score) to remain a threat. Not only will this will lead to better passing opportunities for your teammates, but also more opportunities for assist and points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there a such thing as passing too much?
