How to Easily Score 27 Points Per Game

Despite the smaller size of most shooting guards, scoring from the SG position isn’t
incredibly difficult as long as you have an outside jump shot.

Let’s take a look at how a shooting guard can score 27 points in a regular game:

a. 2x Three-Pointers - 6 points

Knock down two three-point attempts throughout the game. These will usually come
from the team’s half-court offense or the coach drawing up a set play to get you open.

b. 3x Drive and Finish - 6 points

When defenders close out to contest your shot, put the ball on the floor and attack the
hoop. If you can do this three times in a game, it’s an easy six points.

c. 3x Fast Breaks - 6 points

Outwork your opponent by sprinting down the floor hard every time your team gets
possession. This will free you up for several fast break opportunities every game.

d. 3/4 Free Throws - 3 points

If you’re running the floor hard and attacking the hoop, you’re guaranteed to get fouled
several times. When you get to the line, knock down 75% of your free-throws.

e. 1x Midrange Shots - 2 points

Making a single midrange shot in an entire game isn’t hard, is it? If your defender bites
on a shot fake, take one or two dribbles inside a pull up for an open jump shot.

f. 1x Backdoor Cuts - 2 points

When you’re knocking down outside shots consistently, teams are going to overplay you
to keep the basketball out of your hands. Perform a quick backdoor cut for two easy
points.

g. 1x Isolation - 2 points

When a post defender switches on to you, isolate them on the perimeter. They won’t be
quick enough on their feet to stay in front of you. Drive past them and finish with a layup.
