Rating:  - Best Drill and Technique Book I have read yet.
This book is THE greatest technique and drill book that I have yet to read. I have learned so much from it and I use it when I practice every day at my house. This book is for any person dedicated to making their game better and I recommend it for anyone that wants to play to their full potential.
Rating: - I learned a heckuva lot

Rating: - Excellent Book for Individual Offensive Basketball
Excellent book! The offensive fundamentals are explained very clearly with a list of key teaching points. Easy to comprehend for both players and coaches. Really enjoyed the action photos that went along with each of the offensive fundamentals.
Rating:  - Good for Individual Techiques Improvement
In this book, both individual offensive and defensive fundamentals of basketball are written clearly in point form. Large Photos of college player are used to clarify the concepts; howeever, number of drills is limit. Moreover, Lacks of concepts about the basketball team work make this book only good for those player who intend to improve the personal skill but not for those who want to understand the game better.
