In a stationary position while on the dribble, stutter step towards a direct drive to the basket for a power move.

Alternate the direction of the dribble drive each time you return to the top of the key.

    Shooting
    Dean Smith Drill | Shooting

    Players 1 2 will shoot the ball to each other.
    Concentrate on good shooting form and "arc".

    Shooting
    Double drop step | Shooting

    Double drop step:

    From the block do a spin back, drop step to the power box, lift fake from the chin position, jump step to a hook.

    Concentrate on not bringing the ball down below the shoulders.

    When shooting learn to keep the ball up from the chin position. If you move that ball even a centimeter away from that body the defender will be able to knock it away.

    Do twenty each side of the double drop step.
