Ryan’s Answer

I don't know your game, you could be the next big thing in a small package. Statistically, .003% oh high school senior basketball players make it to the NBA. That is 3 in 10,000 players. Not very good odds. Have you thought about being involved in basketball through other fields? Business, marketing, training, etc?
Thank you comment icon <a href="/users/1893/ryan/">@Ryan</a> It's amazing that you know that stat about the % of HS Senior ballers going pro. That's super useful! I'd love to know what the source is on that for future reference. Jared Chung, Admin

Keith’s Answer

Anything is possible if you have a representative skill set. As a smaller basketball player, all the shooting and ball skills must be elite level. Pro sports will always start with size /speed to qualify talent. If an athlete doesn't have the measurables, performance and skill sets are what teams will look to next.

Having played major college sports, I know how athleticism changes with each level toward the pros.

Practice makes perfect? Nope. Perfect practice makes perfect.
