1. Shooting Fadeaways. When a player chooses to shoot a fadeaway instead of taking it up strong and drawing a foul, they risk wasting an offensive possession for their team.
2. Failure To Use A Fake. Players will often rush their shot at the sight of an advancing defender. Rushed shots usually miss.
3. Panicked Passing. Most passing turnovers occur because a player gets nervous due to defensive pressure and passing the ball just to get rid of it instead of passing to a specific target.
4. Leaving Your Feet to Pass. Once you go airborne... you MUST get rid of the ball or it's a turnover. The target you when you left your feet may or may not be open as you start to throw the pass. Why risk it? Use a fake instead to get your defender off-balance.
5. A "Me vs. My Man" Defensive Attitude. Great defenders know and understand that great defense is NOT "me vs. my man" but instead is an "us vs. them" mindset. Understand that your job is to Stop the Ball... even if you have to leave your man in order to do so. If your man doesn't have the ball... they aren't a threat to score.
