Star Drill Freeze Fake 3 Pointers

 

Shooting a basketball on the move is a completely different feel than just standing, catching, and shooting a basketball. To be accurate, it takes proper footwork and basketball shooting mechanics. The better you can lock-in on the details of shooting a basketball, the better of a shooter you will be.

The star shooting drill will give you plenty of reps shooting on the move and improve conditioning. Becoming a great shooter is all about confidence, and the way you build that is through basketball shooting drills and repetition.

The freeze fake 3 point shot is a pretty advanced type of shot, and it takes a while to master it. It is excellent, though, for judging whether the defender will close out short or not. If you freeze fake and the defender does close out short, you can go right into your shot, and if they close out all the way, you can bring the ball down. It is similar to a shot fake, but not quite the same. This basketball drill will give you plenty of repetitions to work on the freeze fake shot from different spots on the floor.
