Box Drill Step Across and Go

 

When you catch the basketball, you shouldn’t have to think about what you will do with your feet. You should be able to pivot with either foot forward or reverse. Scoring the basketball out of multiple types of pivots allows you to read the defender and not worry about your footwork.

After you read your defender, you should be able to make the correct move and exploit how they are guarding you. It all starts with having the correct footwork, though, and this basketball drill will help you develop your footwork.
