Make sure that you are working to develop these three areas of your
individual offensvie game:
Three Point Shot: Work to develop the ability to come off screens or relocate to be able to catch and shoot the ball quickly, but without hurrying.
Midrange Game: If you can hit the three point shot consistently, defenders will jump or at least come out of their stance to challenge your shot. Learn to shot fake the three point shot and make a getaway dribble for a midrange shot.
Driving Game: Once you can hit that one dribble pull up shot, a helping defender will come after you, so you need to be able to make a dribble move to beat that helper to get to the basket.
Consciously practice each of those aspects of individual offense to be able to fit them into your team's offensive concepts. Look for how and when to apply those in summer games and then evaluate the effectiveness in games of each and then how you will practice to improve in your individual workout tomorrow.
In this video, Sam Cassell offers some insights into your midrange game. Make sure that you do not use the bump he is talking about when you use your step back move. The NBA can get away with that, you won't be able to. It is still a very effective move, even without the bump.
