Creator, slasher, operator, sniper. Long ago, the four players lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the snipers attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all 4 player types could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
Then, one day, he woke up and did not remember anything. Sleeping a hundred years, he had to relearn everything. Joking, no such person exists anymore. All kids my age wanna do is dribble and pull up in giant hoodies from deep
This is my take 1. Creators. Creators are the ones who create plays and scoring opportunities for themselves and their team. Their primary skills are passing and play making. Most common position for this is point gaurd. 2. Slashers. These guys are the ones who can really bring the ball to the basket and scoring. Using their speed, agility, strength and pure athleticism to power through defense, slashing to and attacking the basket. Primary skills are most likely ball handling and scoring. Most common for power forwards and centers. 3. Snipers. This might be the simplest out of the Snipers have the ability to knock down shots from different places across the court and hit their shots from a distance. Primary skills are of course shooting. These guys bring another scoring option for teams and can be the star of your team if you use them right. Most common from shooting guards and in this age, point guards. 4. Operator. Operators are the ones who have an answer to all your moves. They have variety and versatility and know how to operate the ball to win. They will always be able to pave a road to scoring with their large array of skills and abilities. They don't have a main skills and it depends on the person. It's the most flexible role and you can pick out what main skill you want as a player. Most common for small forwards.
Bro this video helped me understand my game so dang better, I know what I do and what I have to work on right, at the morning I wanted to add like 3 new moves to my "bag" but now I understand that I already learned all the moves I needed, I just should master them. It feels so good, finally seeing my game cristal clear and the future of it, I was overcomplicating basketball so much. Bruh, this video saved me hours of potentially wasted time in the gym. Thanks.
Currently getting lean so maybe i can play some ball again at 37. This is all excellent info. Take it to heart if you want to be good for a long time. Play into your 50s if you can!
I’m strictly a creator. Love setting up my teammates and am able to create opportunities for myself if they aren’t producing. I like being an off ball shooter too.
@@DiscipleofJesusFr I just accepted Jesus as my lord and savior last weekend bro so thanks for this! Seeking God and establishing that relationship is easily the best thing I’ve ever done. I am not focused on religion but more so my relationship with God and doing his work.
As an operater think of it as being the medium tank against heavies and lights, you're an all rounder and you can all things good but not great. Kobe says hes good at everything but not great at one specific thing
This helps ALOT I've barely started playing basketball 2 yrs ago and have improved a lot just by watching ur videos. Last year I was leading scorer and rebounder on my JV team and have a chance at starting at varsity. Thank u coach Drew.
Wow this gives me a lot of hope I’m 14 and 6’4” I’m also new to basketball I started playing club this year. My coaches have a lot of hope for me as a forward but my main issues are staying in front on defense (I’m not slow, just bad at guarding smaller guys and guards without reaching) and driving to basket.
Weirdest thing, I am a smaller guard who slashed when I was younger, but had to WORK to develop a jump shot and 3 point range that I've by and large learned to harness as much as possible. The weird part, is that for some mystery of the universe, one day I ended up posting on this dude and playing nearly a whole game with back to the basket style setups and the felt more natural than anything I've ever done in 15 years on the court. I never even tried stuff like that due to my size and my presupposing it would be a lot of dev work without much useful application. I was so wrong. Now I've worked in more and more moves as a post up guard but I can't explain how or why it feels more comfortable than anything else on the court....
Nayem 001 you can just mix it up with whoever your opponents are. Don’t wanna show your opponents the same thing so then they can’t really make a game plan to guard you
I’m a creator that plays as a sniper off-ball but finishes well as the rim with either hand and ambidextrous outside of basketball. Would that fit in to a specific category?
@@nadimovam4948 I create plays more than I score though. I score more on off-ball cuts too and he says that operator is the scoring type that can score everywhere but not the type of player who creates plays.
Coach please help me out, i dont know what type of shooter i am. In 5 on 5 since i am not so tall(standing 5'6") i tend to be the point guard and I dont know if i can be creator because im the type of player who love to shoot 3 (off the dribble amd off the catch) cz its my style and strength . So what do you think the type of player am i? Creator or Sniper?
In my opinion, it seems like you might be more of a sniper. Here is a pdf that will help lead you a little more in finding your player type media-pdf.s3.amazonaws.com/Player+Types+PDF.pdf
Relatable, I always go, "Alright, you guys do your offense hibby jibbies, I will take the rebound and maybo locking that guy right there, tell me if you need a screen or anything like that, I don't mind." 😂
@@ron4293 my advice, go for the putbacks if you are a big men. I mean, it's the nearest offensive skill set that you can do. Cause you already rebounding some right? Edit : Then you work on those simple finishes like, cutting in after you screen and the hook it. Or even better, work on your shooting, it will be much better.
honestly, i dont see alot of channels focused on centers or pure backdown post players anymore. its not thats it uneffective anymore but i see alot of guard-focused channels.
It is crazy how the game has progressed, ya know? Even Jokic who is arguably the league's best center operates on the perimeter and at 15-20' just as much as he does on the block.
Don't be stupid . Only operator is really basketball player . Again If everyone had the same talent and work and the only diffrence is how they distribute thier training . A team of operators would totally dominate anything . They have the best strength of no weakness. That for all walks of life because of a simple rule you know what it is ? The more you grow the closer you get to your limit . And the closer you get the slower it is to grow . So a jack of all trades would dominate you because the small ones who he worked on have higher growth potential . And because of that he is superior to you
I think I’m a creator n operator cuz I can get my buckets but I always make sure to get others involved n also I can finish n shoot when need to I just gotta work on my handles tho that’s the only thing stopping me from being great 😢
I can finish, I can pass but I’m not flashy and sometimes I’m to passive, I can shoot but I’m not that consistent but I’m really good in the midrange area. at first I always looked to drive but know I look for what is open so what am I
what about a draymond green type player, like a floor general that hustles and defends. They're not really used for scoring, and their key attributes are defense, passing, and basketball iq
4 MAIN PLAYER TYPES CREATOR create shots for themselves and teammates SLASHER can always beat defenders and always finds ways to the basket to score THE SNIPER can shoot off the catch, dribble and can shoot from deep THE OPERATOR guys who score in a variety of ways in the paint, midrange or three points
The question is why even have these "types"? It appears that these are all learned skills. So why would someone learn the skills only for a "slasher" or "creator" when they can be superior by learning them all?
If I can score with post mid range and by driving am I an operator or slasher? But I mostly post and shoot mid range cus I'm usually the big man on the team?
I’m a little bit of a creator, operator and sharp shooter. I’m a Freshmen and when playing with my age players, I have all 3 play styles. When playing at the varsity level, I’m more limited to a sharp shooter and creator. Right now I’m working out a lot, like 2-3 a day. Overthinking a lot on what to do to be the best possible, since I’m a 5’7 guard. Mainly need to work on consistently driving past my defender at the varsity level
What do i do if i am someone who is doing drills and things from videos, like EGT, to become better, but just has not worked? (like never being able to score AT ALL, also i don't blame EGT, they worked with BRADLEY BEAL)
Yes, you just have to find the seams in the defense and attack those. You can use a variety of finishes against a 2-3 zone just depending on what you see in front of you.
Creator, slasher, operator, sniper.
Long ago, the four players lived together in harmony.
Then, everything changed when the snipers attacked.

(Only 2k players would know)
Slashing playmakers
Slasher
Sharpshooter
Offensive threat
He forgot interior finishers
lol yea
Nah shot creator definitely playmaking shot creator
interior finisher is basically a slasher just bigger
Wait but wouldn’t the offensive threat just be a shot creator?
I'd replace offensive threat with 3 level scorer
I’m strictly a creator. Love setting up my teammates and am able to create opportunities for myself if they aren’t producing. I like being an off ball shooter too.

Players can be a mixture which leads them to be more of creator because of the ability to create your own shots and shots for other.
Eeel
Wouldn’t the operator be the best build?
Marc Toussaint all are necessary for a balanced option in guard offense.
As an operater think of it as being the medium tank against heavies and lights, you're an all rounder and you can all things good but not great. Kobe says hes good at everything but not great at one specific thing
Yeah it would be the beat but you probably aren't a good creator if your and operator
@@Randombrah you played world of tanks to I see
Bro playing 2k in real life
I’m an operator, because I can drive and shoot, but I need to work on handles, IQ, and passing

personal mark
Definitely a creator. Although I double as a sharp shooter and moon light as a slasher.
what do you do as a sniper if they play ALL SWITCH defence?
Build a counter move to your counter move

Probably an operator
Drew's basketball IQ's crazy
RIP Kobe
How about the bench player motivator
what about a draymond green type player, like a floor general that hustles and defends. They're not really used for scoring, and their key attributes are defense, passing, and basketball iq
Is this the second time you post part 1?
is there a category for centers or some power forwards who specialize in the post? people like shaq, andre drummond or maybe hakeem?
They’re like big slashers. Most ppl would call them post scorers or interior finishers.
Please what about centers
4 MAIN PLAYER TYPES
CREATOR create shots for themselves and teammates
SLASHER can always beat defenders and always finds ways to the basket to score
THE SNIPER can shoot off the catch, dribble and can shoot from deep
THE OPERATOR guys who score in a variety of ways in the paint, midrange or three points
What would you call a guy who play around the key... Cause like I am a mod range player I use height and fade aways... But I don't shoot 3s
I would say that you are more of an operator in reality
what category’s Joker in?
is bending your knees a lot a problem for snipers?
I’m a mix between creator and sniper
Keep in mind if one doesn’t apply these workouts consistently they’re worthless, and you can be all 4 types so don’t restrict yourself to one.
Agree but in real game you have to have some special position so you can play with your teammates.
a.j smith of course
I'm a mid range shooter which one does that go into
Creator and Slasher
Why do i feel like i already watched this

The question is why even have these "types"? It appears that these are all learned skills. So why would someone learn the skills only for a "slasher" or "creator" when they can be superior by learning them all?
Where did he say you have to learn just one type? Obviously, a superior player has a combination of all.
Is Just to create a workout regiment towards the strongest part of your game and after that u can Go work on your weakness or mix up.
If I can score with post mid range and by driving am I an operator or slasher? But I mostly post and shoot mid range cus I'm usually the big man on the team?

the operator and slasher is in my blood..
Is it possible to slash on 2-3 zone defence besides floaters?
Yes, you just have to find the seams in the defense and attack those. You can use a variety of finishes against a 2-3 zone just depending on what you see in front of you.
Sniper 🤞🤞
All the above
Im a 2-way scoring machine guy that can cover the floor and score at will
What about defenders
Slashers.. .
Im a point guard so I assume Im a creator but Im a decent shooting guard so Im a bit of a sniper
I'd say 75% creator 25% sniper
