The hell do I do?

Okay, I'm in a midget league (dont let that decieve you, there are some pretty tall guys), and although its "organized basketball", the majority of the players cant play. period. Anyway, my dilemna, is that my team sucks balls. Other than one other player, no one can deliver on a game-to-game basis. I need help. Our record is 3-6 and I don't think we'll be able to deliver in the playoffs.

I'll break down my team. (Ill spare their names, just their initials)

Me - Point guard, altough I'm supposed to play SG, I'm the only player with a handle. Its my first year, and I'm the youngest.
A - Shooting guard, only because he can't play point. Although his handle's pretty, but cross-overs when he should push the ball. Has no floor game.
S - Can shoot the lights out one game, and then freeze for the next couple weeks. Best rebounder. Small Forward.
P* - Sometims doesn't bother to show up. Can drive, get the foul, and hit the three. God's gift. Too bad he doesn't care much for this league, plays competitive. Only here due to mixup. SF
D - Throws the three's up, when he should drive. Has nice touch, but is streaky. PF.
A - Tall as fuck, gorgeous touch at practice, and bricks every shot in games. I think we need him more involved. C

Our bench is probably not even worth describing. They're basically brick-layers, and can't hold a ball if their life depended on it. I know its my responsibilty to get my team involved, but I don't have much to work with. The age group is 14-18 (Big gap.) Any help is appreciated.

No offence or anything, but are you an actual midget or are you in a league where the age is young, like 8-10y-o?

lmao. Check the last paragraph.

Case you still dont get it, I'm 14.

I played on a team like that last year. I got so pissed I was just chucking it up to get us started on a roll. That, and I played point guard and I was the second tallest kid on the team. Just get everyone involved, that's how we won.

Oh, I forgot to mention, no one else can dribble, so when the other team starts to full-court press, we basically die.

You go Kobe on them. Yell and scream till they listen.

simple, you go phoenix on everyone's ass though it could work, does your team run for fast breaks? because if they do, this could be possible, though you need great court vision at the same time.

One thing I can tell you: Defense don't require talent, just the three H'es: Heart, Hustle, and Hard work. But you describe 2 players that don't even care. What is the point of playing in that team or that league?

But if you get me.. I'm gonna murder some cats for you. Just go to the Play prophiles thread. I can dunk and dribble and shoot and pa.........and dunk.

If they're doing nothing, do a Kobe on your team. If they show a hint of being active, do a Nash.

don't you have a coach?

Pull a Vince on them and leave them to play with quality guys.

Change a team or go to another league

Pull a Vince on them and leave them to play with quality guys.

Damn, I was going to post that...

don't you have a coach?

Yes, but he's incredibly ignorant. He will never make a stack lineup, forcing us to play equal time with the shit bench. Isn't that wonderful.

Pull a Vince on them and leave them to play with quality guys.

Would if I could.

just say fuck you to all and find a new team where you have good players who want to play bb.
