1. Footwork for separation
2. Scoring from three levels, plus free throws
3. Finishing
Obviously, there are countless footwork drills with basketball moves.
Footwork
- McHale move (up and under from each side)
- Front pivot (off inside foot at block) into reverse layup
- Box drills into layups and one dribble shots
- Wing attack catch, inside foot pivot, rip through into layup or shot
- Wing attack catch and reverse pivot/deep step into layup
- Wing attack with outside foot pivot with rip into layup
- Catch into hesitation and crossover dribble into shot
Three-level scoring
- Inside moves above
- Mid-range shooting off the catch, one-dribble moves, and step back
- Three point shooting off the catch
Finishing at the rim
- Reverse Mikan drill
- Numerous layup finishes above
Expose the player to "second order" thinking. What might I be tasked with and how can I practice that? Practice getting open for catch-and-shoot threes.
Create game simulation practice it.
Scoring off the bench. Steve Kerr used to practice sitting on the bench and coming into the game for a three-pointer. We worked on that yesterday with a SLOB inbound into a give-and-go for threes. It's a work in progress (thirteen year-old girl).

The evolution of the Hammer play. Pop runs a Hammer for Harris on the weakside but the play had a couple of options. No P&R tells me it was designed for Smart. Smart was able to turn the corner, weakside was all in on the Hammer action that allowed Smart to get an easy layup. pic.twitter.com/gD93GxPEYw— Steve Jones Jr. (@stevejones20) September 9, 2019
