If you are older, I would suggest doing the same drill mentioned above only with a light medicine ball.

Everybody knows that if a team has a few good long range shooters on the floor, the defense cannot take a break and simply wait for the offense to make a drive for the basket.
However, should they decide to tighten their defense against long range threats, they inadvertently change the offensive dynamics of their opponents as they now have a better option of making a drive towards the hoop. In short, having good shooters in your team helps to stretch out the defense and thus opening your team to potential driving lanes. Simply put, if you are a player with better shooting accuracy than your teammates, expect to have more playing time during games. The problem with great shooters is that they are hard to find or are hard to come by.
This means you have a good chance of getting the shooter position in your team if you practice hard enough. Remember, good shooters are an invaluable asset for any team, particularly those that can shoot long range shots behind the arc, which means with good shooting accuracy, you have a good chance of having more playing time than the rest of your teammates.
The reason behind this is simple, the team can gamble on the shooting accuracy of a player, particularly during crucial moments of the game, and simply place the rest of the team in charge of defense and rebound.
Should the defense try to stop the shooter through double-team, then they leave one offensive player unmarked giving the offense even better scoring opportunity. Such strategy has been seen countless of times and the amusing thing is that it works. Overall, having a high shooting percentage is an important goal that, when possible, a player should try to meet.

In addition to shooting skill, you must have confidence in yourself to shoot well. The integration of the mental and mechanical aspects of shooting fosters shooting success. Development of an accurate shot forces your defender to play you tight and become vulnerable to a fake, allowing you to pass and drive as well as shoot.

I responded with, "You're telling me the most important skill in basketball is the ability to pass and catch?
He does make a valid point though. Passing and catching the ball is done more in a game than anything else, but just because it is done the most often doesn't mean it is the most important.
So, what am I getting at here? That this is an incredibly complicated question! It cannot be answered this simply. Greg wasn't a super star ball handler or shooter but he managed to make it to the highest level of the game possible. Also not because he was a great passer and catcher, but because he knew his role and embraced it. I personally believe the answer to this question is that exactly.
