Is this drill for you?
For advanced finishers (Level 4) expanding their rim package - extended layups, up-and-unders, finger rolls, floaters, and freestyle finishes.
The ladder: Extended finishes first, then up-and-unders, finger rolls, and floaters, with freestyle finishes last.
Variations: Both hands, both sides; the freestyle round is unscripted.
In a game: When the drive is won but the help is waiting, these are the finishes that still get the bucket.
