If you want to be an elite.
Level passer, the best thing you can have is gravity. Caitlin Clark is the best passer in college basketball, and she has more gravity than probably anybody else in college basketball, which is a big part of why she's the level of passer that she is. We'll talk about exactly why she has this gravity in a minute. But just to define the term, gravity basically just means the attention of the defense when you're on the floor. This clip is a great example of what gravity looks like. There's so much attention given to his outside shot here that he's completely given a driving lane to the left. And Caitlin Clark has the same sort of gravity to the point where, where defenses will straight up look bad against Iowa because they're selling out to stop her. Many times teams are willing to devote the attention of two or even three defenders fully to Caitlin Clark anytime that she's a threat. And she exploits this at an elite level, which is why she puts up the passing numbers that she does. And this clip here, where she literally takes up the attention of all five defenders, might be the best example. And because she understands the gravity that she has, she'll use that in order to free up her teammates.
And to.
Really see the full scope of this gravity. I want you to watch this clip.
It might not jump out right away, but you're going to notice Van Lith digging down on this pass. Take that, Caitlyn throws. And that's because they have her on film making passes like these. And it would make sense that Louisville would have that on their scouting report, and we're likely trying to take that away, which is why her throwing that pass thing exploits that gravity that she has, not only on her scoring, but in her passing as well, which opens up a wide open shot for her teammate.
So this is where you can really.
Start to see how this level of gravity makes her the best passer in college basketball. But it's important to understand where all this gravity comes from and how she's even able to get to this point in the first place.
And it really is a simple answer.
But she's an elite level scorer and a threat from just about anywhere beyond half court. When it comes to basketball and just about anything else, the rich get richer. So if you want to become a better passer, become more of a threat to score, because then the defense is going to present you with more opportunities to set your teammates up. A lot of players want to be passed first, but if you don't also have the mindset of a scorer, then it's going to be much more difficult for you. So if you want to be an elite level passer, then your goal should be to get as much gravity as possible. And you do that by proving you can score the ball at just as.
High a level that you can pass it at.
And once you do that, the game will become so much easier for you. If you guys enjoyed this video, make sure you drop a like and subscribe. Click the top link in the description below to get my free leap perimeter score workout. I'll talk to you guys soon. Peace.
