Is this drill for you?

For intermediate guards (Level 3) who want ten different pull-up setups - from one-dribble gathers to anchor steps and escape dribbles.

Trains: shooting form · footwork · ball-handling · balance · decision-making

The ladder: One-dribble pull-ups and push crosses first, then half-turn, punch, and shake-n-bake setups, then BTL-spin, heavy step, anchor step, and escape.

Variations: Run every setup both directions.

In a game: Ten setups means ten answers - whatever the defender takes away, you trained a counter into a pull-up.

50 minutes - the longest shooting session in this set.
