Most AAU teams or College Basketball teams have a Head Coach or General Manager. There must be a mutual respect and shared understanding of the organization’s resources and goals.

Chemistry is a HUGE thing for a basketball team. Basketball teams must have athleticism, be fundamentally sound, and have to balance. You can’t have a team of shooters who turn over the ball or a team of inactive players. Versatility and players that can be interchangeable on the court are precious.

Bigs that can play power forward or center is a must. Having a point guard that can play shooting guard is also valuable. Having players, that can create their shot by themselves or be having two guards that have a mismatch in the post as a big guard.

The ability to perform under pressure is HUGE too.
