nice nice. lookin sm00v.
for bball, if you want to use it as "plyometrics", you have to treat it more as such: ie, bigger rest intervals, more explosive movements during your drills etc. can be hard with a ball though, if that becomes your weak spot, limiting your explosiveness during the drills.
it becomes less "basketball specific" in terms of conditioning, but it can work pretty well for building more reactive strength imho.
it'll never match multi response reaction drills such as repetitive tuck jumps, hurdle jumps, pogos, depth jumps etc.. but, it can build some decent reactivity.
dno my 2cents on it. when you really ramp up the intensity of dribbling, change of direction drills, explosive moves to the basket etc, it can tired you out crazy quick.

Another option for high bar squats, Manta Ray squat attachment, but TBH you could just wrap a towel around the bar and get the same effect, with the bar sitting higher on the body
manta ray not gonna help u build a sexy shelf tho
body seems to respond kinda fast to putting some extra meat up there when it's got a bar on it a few times per week. tho i have nothing to back that up
