A player that is not heavily guarded will have the best opportunity to score. Move the ball a lot. Passing the ball around a little confuses defenders and frees up men, which creates more scoring opportunities. Opt for the high percentage shot. If you get the ball and have room to drive in and get a closer shot, go for it.
Closer shots have a better chance of going in than long distance ones.
Use the set plays on offense. Have the point guard call the plays while dribbling down court and pass the ball to the players who manage to get open. Know your players. Use the all-stars on your team for that crucial, clutch shot. Point guards are usually great at stealing the ball and creating havoc on defense.
