Payton Pritchard shows why keeping your defender “in jail” is a guard’s cheat code. 👨‍🏫 When you get downhill and the defender stays on your hip, don’t race them to the rim. ☑️ Slow down. ☑️ Keep them locked behind you. ☑️ Control tempo, change pace, and make the big commit. It works because the defender is out of position — they can’t contest from behind, can’t recover to the front, and now you dictate everything. 🏀 How to keep ‘em in jail: 1️⃣ Get low + protect your space. 2️⃣ Stop short to make them crash your back. 3️⃣ Keep your eyes up: read the drop, lob, or pull-up. Guards who learn this become un-guardable in the paint. 💯 Tag a teammate who needs this! 👇 #BasketballIQ #PaytonPritchard #jlawbball #BallHandling #basketball #nba #basketballtraining
