Great article I watched a similar video by Taylor Allan explaining the same thing. I think for most people if they have ambitions of going pro it needs to be shooting but there are others that don't require athleticism. I wouldn't say speed is a niche. I'd say niches are shooting, playmaking, energy, defender, slasher, scorer. Not sure if I missed any what do you think thedougaller? Did I miss some?

Speed can definitely be a niche, Iverson comes to mind. There are tons, too many to list

I have to disagree. Usain bolt could play basketball and although his speed is an asset I think its what you do with the speed that is more important. Iverson used his speed to be a scorer.

Well in bolts case he's only fast in a straight he lacks agillity and bolts also not a good started in his races basketball speed is so much more different then track speed, but i do get your point in that speed isnt a niche its something that helps you do your niche such as being tall

Usain Bolt was in the celeb game wasn't he? Did pretty well if i remember correctly. Speed is definitely a niche, but I'm talking within basketball players. You have to build your niche into your game, of course just being fast is not enough. Just like stationary ball-handling isn't enough, only being able to shoot wide open jumpers isn't enough, etc.
