Why aren't you doing the Starting Strength 3x5?

uh, no, still not that good. Don't take my word for it- wander over to http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/articles.html and read some of the stuff over there. Understanding Sport Specific Exercises , Getter Stronger, Verticle Jump FAQ, and others. These will help you understand the basics for putting a program together.

You need to get out of your head that you want a bodybuilding program if you actually want to be a better basketball player. After you've accomplished the basics you can add some of that stuff in, but you yourself noted how is difficult to balance two different workouts at once. Why burn yourself out on 'add on' exercises when you need to start with building the core.

Oh no -- I am not working out to be a better basketball player -- I am working out to get stronger and look better -- basketball is just something I like to do...

When I look at that program - I feel like that is to just get huge... maybe I am wrong?

I am looking to more or less get strength and lean out a bit...
