Is this drill for you?
For beginners (Level 1) learning to finish - cone drives into layups, then pull-ups, side-steps, and step-backs as the counters.
The ladder: Cone drive layups first, then two-cone and tween-crossover drives, then the pull-up, screen, and step-back counters, closing with swishes.
Variations: Ten reps left, ten right on everything.
In a game: The drive is the first scoring skill; the pull-up counters keep it working when the paint closes.
Needs cones or a chair.
