my man you got the right idea by doing workouts early...back in my day I waited way to long, but had enough heart and hustle to make the team.
Lets start with the basics:
Run at least 1 mile a day for the first two weeks, then add a 1/4 mile each week until you are up to 3 miles or 30 minutes...which ever comes first.
Weights: You should lift very light weights with high repititions. You do not want to gain mass as much as you want to gain tone. Your body will start to add mass as you get older(16 - 17). Try doing nothing more than your body weight on the bench.
Do tons of legs excercises ie. calf raises and squats, this will help your jumping tremendously.
My last tip is to work on both dribling and shooting with your off hand, A SF who can also handle the rocck is a gold mine. Also being able to finish at the glass with both hands is something a coach notices...trust me!!
Good luck !!!
