Regardless of the position you play, ball handling is the fundamental skill you have to master. This is a stationery ball handling drill, executed by players of very young age, but don’t take that too lightly: do it, and if your execution is flawless, do it faster…

This drill, or something similar to this, should be integrated into every practice. Since this drill can be done in the driveway, I would recommend doing it every day.

This is critical skill to master, especially for guards and (small) forwards. Make your defender think you will drive, have them go on their heels, then pull a jumper.

Sounds simple? Work on this drill, it might take a while until you are confident to pull a quick and accurate jumper.

Watch the spacing! It is tempting to get half a step too close to defender. Don’t stay too far either, or you might step outside of your range. Never be afraid of a blocked shot. If it happens, you didn’d get the right spacing. Work on it, and work on the quickness of your shot.
