Do power jumps. Setup a few levels that total in height 3 to 4 feet. Then in each hand hold 5 pound weights and jump on top of these levels, then step down. Repeat this for about 30 minutes. Next, go to the gym and work on your calf muscles. Using the calf machine will make your calves stronger. Don't over do it, you want to have lean muscles, not heavy. Then go the machine that works out your legs. I ts the one where you lay on your back and you lift the weights with just your legs and feet. The goal is to get explosive jumping. If you can beat a guy to the rim by jumping faster, then it doesn't matter how high he jumps.
Have fun.

There's a couple things you can do!! First, continue to workout with your legs...in the gym. Jump rope alot, alos. Laste;y there are special shoes you can order like in Eastbay.com that will help with your vertical. Good luck!
