Pull Through Inside Hand Finish Post Move Basketball Drill

Pull Through Inside Hand Finish Basketball Post Drill

 

When a guard penetrates down the lane, and the other team’s post defender steps up to help on the drive, a great option is for the guard to dump the ball off to the big man for a finish. However, a lot of times, big men struggle to catch the ball and then finish. This basketball post move drill will simulate this action and work on helping the big man; space, catch the ball, and then finish before the defense can recover.

When you watch this basketball training video make sure that you notice how the player is spacing on the drive, but as the ball is coming towards them, they are stepping in, catching, and finishing all in one motion. Don’t catch the ball and then move to finish; that is too slow and will allow the defense to recover. The player will use his/her inside hand to finish because they are mixing it up for the shot blocker, and they are simply trying to get the ball up on the backboard before the shot blocker can rotate over.
