Watch his midsection
When guarding the dribbler, watch his midsection(waist). He can't go anywhere without it, and you won't fall for foot fakes or ball fakes.

This is a good way to guard a guard. Especially if the person you're gurading is very quick and can move fast with the ball. This is a good way to guard a dribbler and keep him in front of you without getting crossed or shaken up.

Line jumps are probably the most effective way to increase foot speed. you stand on one side of a line or crack, then jump it back and forth, getting faster and faster as you go. I myself would not be considered "quick of foot" by I am a good defender because of anticipation, which imo is more important. I can usually anticipate what a defender is going to do, which just takes practice. When you play ball on the playground, guard the best player on the court, that's how I improved my defense. GL.
