My high school coach once told me that there is a difference between a shooter and a scorer. So, let me explain basketball you how a scorer can average over 10 points a game.
A shooter will stand outside the three point line or close to it and shoot from that position during the entire game. However, a scorer will take advantage of finding a variety of ways to get the basketball in the hoop.
So let's just start with the scorer position, outside the three point line. Are you good at shooting threes? If not, this is not an option for you. You will have to shoot and hit at least 4 threes to get 12 points. But let's just say you get lucky tonight and nail one. So now you have 3 points.
We've already established that your shooting range is not that great. So make sure when you are getting in position to take a shot, you are in closer to the basket. So now you take a jumper a little closer and it goes in. Now you have 5 points.
However, jump shooting is just one way to score. Next time you get the ball you find yourself again behind the three point line. No problem. Give your opponent an up fake and drive to the basket for a lay-up. Now there is 2 more points, 7 total.
You are heading back on defense and you anticipate a pass and make a steal. You go in for a wide open lay-up. There you go for another 2 for 9 points total.
Another trip down the court on offense you seem to can not get yourself away from the 3 point line. No problem again. You penetrate in and on your release you are fouled. You have 2 free throws and you make both. You have reached your goal of over 10 points in a game. You have 11.
Averaging over 10 points is not hard. Just learn how to accomplish it in a variety of ways.
