Hi Ryan,
Working on agility in Basketball should be done when dribbling with the ball. It`s all about being able to change direction sharply, use both hands on the dribble whilst executing skills. Here`s a good drill to use to improve agility on the dribble. I hope this helps.

Beat the chair
DESCRIPTION
Players start out in the corner on either side of the court. Set up 2 cones in front of the players. The 1st cone 15 ft away. The 2nd cone 30 ft away. There will also be a chair 18-20 ft away from the basket. Players dribble to the 1st cone and perform a change of direction dribble. Player then dribbles around the 2nd cone and then dribbles at speed towards the chair. When they reach the chair they should quickly change direction, move and attack the basket where they will finish with a lay-up.
