Is this drill for you?
For intermediate finishers (Level 3) collecting six floaters - jump stop, Euro, runner, step-back, bank, and same-foot-same-hand.
The ladder: Jump-stop and Euro floaters first, then the runner and step-back, then bank and same-foot-same-hand.
Variations: Drive both directions; finish with either hand.
In a game: The floater family is the answer to a shot-blocker waiting at the rim - six releases cover every drive angle.
30 minutes; needs a hoop and a chair.
