Description: Day 2- Straight cut

Good drill. Pretty difficult to do without a partner, though.

This is when you literally run straight off of the down screen into your shot.  It’s mostly when your defender gets stuck on the screen and want to get your shot off quickly.  Focus on good footwork to get your shot off quickly.  25 makes from mid range and three for the right wing, and same from the left wing.

A straight cut is to get your shot off as quickly as possible.  Usually you use this when a defender gets caught on the screen quickly.  So you want no wasted motion.  Just cut straight up into your shot.  Good balance and focus is important.  Not a super easy shot.

Day 2- Straight cut

Good drill. A little tricky without partners, but a stationary object and spinning the ball to myself worked as well.

Day 1- Regular cut

Had some people help this time and it was way easier. If my defender cheats under on the screen, can I flare out for an open three?

Day 3- Curl Cut

I liked that drill. These are also a good way to improve on 3 point shots.

Day 4- Fade Cut

Good drill. I will definitely be able to use it in a game.

Day 5- One dribble shot

Great drill. This series is great. I used a simple curl around a down screen in a game the other day and it got us 2 points.

Day 6- One dribble step back

Great last drill. I do have a question though. What should I do if the defenders switch on the down screen?
