Elite scorers aren’t defined by having one unstoppable move. They’re defined by their ability to find different ways to score when the defense takes something away. Ethan put on a clinic against the #4 team in the state—and what stood out wasn’t just how much he scored, but how many different problems he could solve. Backdoor cuts. Attacking hard downhill off closeouts. Mid-range pull-ups. Floaters. 3s. Leaking out in transition. Hook shots. Playing off two feet. Using his pivot. Creating advantages without the ball just as effectively as he created them with it. That’s multi-level scoring. Elite scoring is ultimately a decision-making problem. The defense changes the constraints—space, angles, timing, positioning, help—and the scorer has to adapt the solution. Research on skilled movement supports this idea: high-level performers benefit from being able to use different movement strategies while maintaining a consistent outcome. The best scorers aren’t just good at scoring one way. They have multiple answers. With the ball. Without the ball. At the rim. From the mid-range. From 3. In transition. Against a closeout. With their back to the basket. On two feet. Off movement. Different tools. Same objective: get a bucket. And Ethan showed nearly every one of them in a single game against a top-5 team in the state. Multi-level scoring. Trainer: @Logan Hinton, a former 5 year pro across three countries. Train Like a Pro!

The modern game doesn’t have much room for one-dimensional players. And at the 3, versatility is everything. A small forward has to be able to punish you in the paint, stretch you beyond the arc, attack closeouts, create for others, and make the defense pay for whichever matchup it chooses. That’s the art. If you put a big on me, I’m too quick and shifty. If you put a guard on me, I’m too big and athletic. So I use both. Give me a smaller defender and I’ll attack the rim. Send a second defender and I’ll find the open man. Drive into the paint and force the defense to collapse, and suddenly a shooter is standing wide open. But it works the other way too. When I consistently knock down threes, the big has to step away from the paint. That space changes everything. The lane opens up. Driving angles become cleaner. Closeouts become longer. And now the defense has to choose between giving up a 3 or giving up an advantage at the rim. That’s why the 3 is so important. The best small forwards don’t just score—they change the geometry of the floor. Paul George is a perfect example. His value has never been limited to one way of scoring. He can shoot over smaller defenders, attack bigger ones, create off the dribble, make plays when defenses send help, and defend multiple positions. That kind of versatility forces a defense to constantly adjust. Modern basketball is built around spacing, closeouts, rotations, and creating advantages. The more threats you have on the floor, the more ground a defense has to cover—and the harder every rotation becomes. That’s what I’m trying to show in these clips. Not just scoring. Reading the matchup. Creating the advantage. Forcing the defense to react. Too fast for the bigs. Too big for the guards. A threat inside. A threat outside. That’s the art of the small forward.
