Hi this is Sean Hobson and right now we?re working with our shooting guard. We?re talking about the importance of the shooting guard in the offense. Now, anybody want to give a guess as to why they are called the shooting guard? That's right that's because they shoot in the offense. Usually our shooting guard is the number one guy that we want to have the ball to shoot the ball. If we call out of bounds plays. Most of the time call out of bound plays for our shooting guards. Most of the time we run an offense we run a double screen or a screen to get this guy open. Because we want him to be the shooter. So the main purpose and the main job of the shooting guard is to learn how to use screens to move in the offense and get himself open. And then once he catches it gets it he is going to have to look to shoot the ball. You don't want to have a shooting guard that is afraid to shoot. So right now we are just going to show what it kind of looks like and how hard that a shooting guard works to get himself open. Alright go. Billy is going to kick back inside if he doesn't get the ball. He is going to relocate, pop out. Then he is going to be the guy to get a shot off. You saw as soon as he caught the ball he was ready to shoot. Because that is why he is our shooting guard.
