Answer 2

you don't have to be the fastest guy on the court to be a good baller. But if you want to be quicker this is what you should do. Run your butt off, this will increase your stamina and while your at it do some squats, leg presses, and calf raises that should help your speed. And if these suggestions don't help then I would concentrate on fundamentals like playing good D and rebounding. If you can do these things I promise you will rule the court.
