IS THIS good...?

Well i am a very dedicated basketball player. and in the summer i would wake up around 8:30 am to go to the park and play basketball and wouldnt leave until 2 or 3. that was before i started high school. i am a freshman, and now im so caught up doing homework, projects and all that other stuff i hardly have time for basketball now. i get home around 6 and then i dont finish my hw till like 9pm. i used to plat like 7 days a week. but now i only get to play like 2 times a week. but i have noticed that if i dont play basketball for a long stretch of time im actually really good then if i play everyday. is this good for me in the long run?
