1. Please indicate 2 ways to get position in the post.
-fake away, v cut
-fake screen, spin move

2. How can you give your opponent a different look in the post?
-face opponent up instead of backing down
-jab step
-get opponent a little off balance

3. In the video, Carlos Boozer says that size and build or physique do not determine how successful you will be in the post position. Do you agree with this? Why or why not?
I agree with this statement. Certainly having a buffer physique and being bigger will be helpful, but you can still be very good at playing the post without it. It could be useful to be a small and quick post player as you could go around defenders.

1. V-Cut, fake screen
2. face defender up, then jab-step
3. I agree with Carlos Boozer that you do not need to be big and strong to post up. It is more important that you are able to read your defender, know how to attack the basket, and being able to finish in multiple ways in order to be a good post player.

1. V-cut and fake a pick, then spin around and get the ball

2. you can back him down or face him up

3. Yes i agree, if you have good enough moves to score down low, then you should just back him down.

2. Back the defender down or face him up
3. I agree with Carlos Boozer because if you have enough skills and and know how to use your body physique to your advantage, you can be just as successful as a bigger player

1. You cab make a V-Cut and a fake screen
2. You can back the defender down or you can face him up
3. I do agree with Carlos Boozer playing the mental aspect of the game can make you more unstoppable than just being big and strong.

1. V-cut and fake screen are two ways to get into position on post.
2. You get your defender off balance
3. I agree with Carlos Boozer, #5 Chicago Bulls, that size and build or physique do not determine how successful you will be in the post position. The more you practice in the post positions will determine how prosperous your game will elevate.

3. Although physique is a big part of success in that position, I agree with him because if someone is very large but has no skill at that position, then they most likely will not be very successful.

1.v-cut/fake and fake screen are two ways to get into position in the post.

2. Depending on if the defender is playing you loose or tight, you can read them differently. If the defender is playing you tight, you can take two strong power dribbles into them (or crab dribbles). or if they are playing you loose, go in for a strong lay-up to get the defender off their balance.

3. I agree with Boozer because you could be really small, but still have a really strong power dribble and strong finish.

3. I agree with Carlos because it's not about strength but about how you react and the strategy you use at post.

1. V-cut and fake screen
2. Get your defender of balance and drive to the hoop
3. Well I mean being bigger in the post definetely helps, but you could be small and still be great as a post player. All you need is to be strong with the ball and if you practice the position you will be good at it

1. You can v-cut or you can fake a screen and go right to the block.
2. You can give your opponent a different look by facing up, jab-stepping and driving instead of backing down and posting up the defender.
3. I agree with Carlos Boozer because you just need to be aggressive, physical, and smart to be successful in the post. Build and physique are not always needed to be a good post player.

3. I do agree with Boozer, as being big would definitely help, but a smaller quicker player would be able to get past their player as well.

cut and or fake screen are the ones you can get into to stand in a structured position

2. Try and distract or get ur defender off balance

3. I agree with Carlos just because you have a fit body doesn't mean ur good at a sport . if you can't do a certain move keep trying until you get better practice makes better donyai

1.V-cut

3. I agree with Boozer, a big would help but a small guard would be able to score a lot more in my opinion
