Footwork and Movement

Screen - Cutter Drill:

Setup the practice as shown.

Players 1 and 3 dribble towards the wing, with player 4 setting a lateral screen for player 2. Player 2 comes off the screen and receives a pass from player 3 for a shot. Player 4 cuts to the ball and receives a pass from player 1 for a shot.

Shooting

Three man switch to shoot and score:

Player 1 starts with the ball in the middle of the court and plays the ball to player 2 who cuts in to the first cone.

Player 2 must then pass to player 3 who has also made a run inside to the other cone further up the court.

Player 1 in the meantime should loop on the outside behind player 2 to receive the ball back from player 3 and take a shot.

Shooting

Rebound, Outlet and Squaring:

One player with the ball, facing the backboard. On the command the player rebounds the ball off the backboard and then passes to player 2 before running to the three point line. Once they get there they stop, pivot to face the basket, do a v-cut to the near side and accelerate towards the basket to receive a pass from Player 2. The player that passes the ball goes in for the rebound.
