Is this drill for you?

For developing scorers (Level 2) adding the push-cross spin with a progressive footwork breakdown.

Trains: ball-handling · footwork · change of direction · balance

The ladder: Push-cross breakdown first, then the spin integration at game speed.

Variations: Spin tight and low, keeping the ball protected on the hip.

In a game: The push cross into a spin is a two-way counter - it punishes defenders who overplay either the crossover or the spin.

Open-floor move work; a hoop extends it into finishes.
