Box Drill Sweeps Finish

Box Drill Sweeps Finish

 

This is a great basketball drill for quick big men or big wing players because they have an advantage in the mid-post area. However, every basketball player should be able to effectively sweep the basketball past their defender if given the lane.

Players need to be efficient with the ball and not waste movement. Often, players aren’t slow; they are just very inefficient with their movements and don’t really go anywhere on their moves. So as you are going through this basketball finishing drill, really focus on being efficient with your movements and being explosive.
