I first started out with ankle weights that I wore everywhere under my jeans. Jump squats are also very helpful with increasing your vertical. Good luck man!

Some basic exercises like squats, jump roping, and vertical jumps will have great results if you keep the hard work up. http://www.streetarticles.com/exercise/jumping-ability-exercises-to-improve-jumping

Your speed all has to do with your form. Picking up your knees higher will help you pick up more speed, and when doing sprints, gradually pick up speed rather than just burst into it and then die quickly. Picking up speed when doing sprints will help train your lungs, heart, and body better.
