Is this drill for you?
For elite finishers (Level 5) who want a full counter package at the rim - pro hops, Euros, runners, spins, and up-and-unders - hoop required.
The ladder: Pro hop finishes first, then Euro steps, runners, spins, and up-and-unders.
Variations: Both hands and both directions on every finish.
In a game: Five different finishes for five different defensive looks - this is the package you cycle through when the first option is covered.
Elite footwork demand; expect a full workout's worth of reps.
