Size-Up 

Your Signature Size-up is a series of rapid dribble moves that certain players use that can trigger your defender to bite on one of them. Leaving an opening to drive to the rim or pass it to a teammate.

Some players such as James Harden and Kyrie have some of the best size-ups in the game, and using them in the right scenarios can lead to some easy points.

The best advice we can give you is to practice using the RS and the different types of moves you and your player can perform.
