Is this drill for you?
For novice point guards (Level 2) who want the full package - combo-move passing reps, then pick-and-roll reads into floaters and middies.
The ladder: Combo hook, pocket, and chest passes first, then top PNR holds into floaters and middies, then wing PNR work, closing with free throws.
Variations: Both hands on every pass; both wings on the PNR.
In a game: Hook, pocket, and chest passes off a live dribble plus PNR reads - the actual job of a point guard.
Uses a chair or dummy as the screener; passes need a partner or a wall target.
