okay, first of all making the NBA is a little unrealistic. A lot of people are gonna say its impossible, but if you believe and work hard you never know what could happen. Set small goals, first try to make your high school freshman team, then JV, then Varsity etc.
In terms of what to work on, the most important thing is probably your shot, try to get 200 to 300 jumpers off a day if you can. If you want to make the NBA its gonna take hard work. Also work on your dribbling skills. You also need to be in good shape. Since its summer i would reccomend joining a basketball camp to work on the fundamentals.
good luck

Grow up to least 6 feet 4 inches, this is the height of a typical NBA Guard. Practice you're outside shot, Perfect your jumpshot! If there's a way to become more athletic, do it!!!

Just practice and believe in yourself. Be willing to work hard and give 100% every day. If you do that, you will have a chance.
