"Shooting, there is no substitute." For us, the offseason is here. "Repetitions make reputations." If basketball is important to you, it's on you to show basketball.
Great shooters shoot more, with purpose and pressure. Repetitions and competition make you a player. Add score and time pressure.
1. Quarters (Pitino 168)
Each round (four quarters) equals 82 shots. With a rebounder, you get a little bit of rest. Keep score and try to beat your high.
2. "Sixteen"
Few players take only threes and layups. With "16" you don't need a rebounder. You have two minutes to score twice from the pegs and elbows. Make it tougher by insisting on making two consecutive shots from each spot. Or see if you can take the minimum (16) to go around the world. It's doable.
3. Spurs Shooting
4. Elbow to Elbow (need a rebounder)
"Winners are trackers." Insist on good passes OR insist on flawed passes. The shooter must move the ball to the shot pocket to get reproducible form. A variation is "elbow to sideline" which forces more running, more conditioning.
5. Celtics' 15 (timed, one minute drill, with rebounder.
Don't practice taking shots. Practice making shots.
6. Celtics 32 (also requires rebounder)... 32 point challenge.
3, 2, and 1 point shots.
7. 37 point challenge.
8. 251
Repeat shots from the corner. For example, if you start from the left corner and make four consecutive, you repeat the right corner shot. Your total stops when you miss two in a row. As Alan Stein, Jr. reminds us about habit formation, "Don't miss twice."
But nothing works unless you do.
