Description

Practice finishing under pressure and getting position to take a charge.

Summary

Set a cone at the 3-point line in each corner. Two players start standing under the rim – one player has a ball. On the signal the player with the ball speed dribbles to and around the cone and back to the basket. The other player sprints to and around the opposite cone and hustles to defend the layup attempt by the player with the ball. The shooter must focus on making the layup under duress while the defender must establish solid position to defend the rim.  OPTIONS: move the defender’s cone to the wing or the top of the key to simulate help defense from various positions. Or move the cones, or one cone closer.
