Is this drill for you?

For intermediate scorers (Level 3) building a BTL shot-creation tree - ten moves from the side step to the under drag, each into a jumper.

Trains: ball-handling · shooting form · footwork · change of direction

The ladder: Side step, misdirection, and jab first, then jab-cross, spin, and anchor step, closing with BTB, delayed BTL, drop pull, and under drag.

Variations: Five reps each move, both directions.

In a game: Ten finishes off one BTL entry - the defense sees the same start and ten different endings.

50 minutes; needs a hoop.
