Is this drill for you?
For advanced guards (Level 4) who want a full scoring workout - step-back jumpers, combo pull-ups, and wing/slot attacks - hoop required.
The ladder: Top-of-the-key step-backs first, then combo jumpers, then wing and slot work, free throws to close.
Variations: Both wings and slots; jumper and layup options.
In a game: A combo guard's value is having no weak spot - this builds pull-ups, drives, and finishes from the top, wings, and slots in one session.
Both sides on everything; expects a reliable handle and pull-up already.
