Pull Through Finish Post Move Basketball Drill

Pull Through Finish Post Move Basketball Drill

 

The technique that a post player uses to finish around the basket can be the difference between a made basket/foul on the defender or a blocked shot. Many players will open up their body to the defender when they go to finish, which allows the defender a clear line to the ball.

With this basketball post move drill, you will practice catching the ball, squaring your shoulders to the basket, and then finishing with your outside hand. This move will be used when a ball handler drives down the lane, and the big man spaces slightly for the drop-off and finish at the basket. As you go through this basketball drill, do your best to visualize this action and make sure that the post player moves towards the basket on the catch and takes advantage of the finish before the defensive post player can fully recover.
