BASKETBALL TRYOUTS

[hotshots24]

In 30 days im trying out for the D-league here in the philippines, i played High School Varsity ball, never got to play in college.
Lost 30 pounds this year, and have been working out on and off, now that the league is opening, I decided to devote my time to achieving my dream growing up,
playing professional basketball. How would you go about getting ready? I have the whole day devoted to this, i feel like im overtraining...and will burnout by the time tryouts come.
How do tryouts for profesional teams work? is it just like high school? run run run?

Amateur comp is average at best, but never really seen the pro level in person, havent matched up against them. Just hoping it wont come as a shock to me.... Guys from all over the world trying to make the teams too, and im only 5'10-11, which is average guard height here....gahh....thanks man

Playing in the bay sure gives me a little ''advantage" but iono

in these tryouts all they care about is your talent and athleticism. You wont be doing suicides, this aint HS tryouts. Their looking for talent or potential, not for the best conditioned player. At that height i hope you're a great shooter, play good D, and can run the pick n roll.

Man get in the best shape possible....some teams do conditioning some dont.  But it cant hurt you at all.  Also, at your size and position you better be able to run the offense, make good passes, knock down open shots, and not be a liablility on defense.  If I were you I'd do alot of pick'n'roll work, ball-handling, and conditioning.  They are looking for guys with athletic ability but if you can be in better shape than the next man it will even the playing field in your favor.  Good luck.
