This concept is very simple to understand, but few good players understand the importance of it.If you decide to go one-on-one, do it IMMEDIATELY after you catch the ball, or don't do it at all. There is a very good reason for this. The longer you hold the ball and look around, the more time the defense has to get in good help-position to stop you and clog the paint.
If there is an opening to go one-on-one, your best chance for success is immediately, not after you hold the ball for several seconds.
The same concept applies to a shot from outside. Anytime you have stood there deciding, decide not to shoot. Why? Because tentative shooters are poor shooters. If something about the situation causes your instincts to delay, then something about your instincts is likely to disrupt the smooth flow of the shooting motion.
When in doubt, pass.
