Is this drill for you?
For advanced finishers (Level 4) who already own basic floaters and want to hit them off real combos - behind-the-back wraps into Euros, goofy-foot steps, and off-glass finishes.
The ladder: Euro-step floaters first, then goofy-foot floaters, then two-foot floaters off glass, then one-foot runners.
Variations: Both hands on every drill.
In a game: Floaters off a live dribble move are unguardable in drop coverage - this builds the combo-to-floater flow that scores before the help arrives.
Needs a hoop and an obstacle; assumes you already make basic floaters.
