Is this drill for you?
For advanced finishers (Level 4) who want five different drive counters from five spots - spins, twitch dribbles, in-and-outs, between-the-legs, and pump fakes - hoop and cones required.
The ladder: Spin finishes first, then twitch-dribble finishes, in-and-out finishes, between-the-legs finishes, and pump-fake finishes.
Variations: Both hands on every finish.
In a game: Five counters off the drive means the defense never takes away your finish - you just move down the list.
Needs a hoop and cones; five spots make it a full session.
