^this and
having a killer shot is a gem. it frees you up for so many other opportunities. definitely focus on shooting. focus on shooting in many different situations... under pressure, when you are fatigued, after you have done say 15 suicides... etc. Against a good defender, it is almost impossible to even get the ball sometimes let alone get off a shot. You should know by now that one's shot varies a lot under different circumstances. The mind can play tricks on you.
Pay attention to the details and always learn more about yourself as a player. For example, ive realized the length of my finger nails can effect my shot, and even the climate can effect your shot. In cold winter times when it is super dry, the skin on my hands get real cracked and i don't get a good grip on the ball compared to wet summer months.
look up shooting drills and observe how good players in the ncaa/nba 3 pt contest play.
Why would he waste his time doing suicides? That isn't exactly going to get him more explosive/stronger. In my opinion, since he already seems to have a great shot, the focus should not be on shooting, it really is all about getting strong, strong, strong. Obviously, strength training shouldn't come before Bball, but i'm gussing you play in a club Akanator? So plenty of basketball action already.
