Stephen Curry Basketball Shooting Drill with Curl

 

Stephen Curry is considered one of the best basketball shooters in the world, and one of the reasons he is such a great basketball shooter is because of his ability to get open without the ball and his great footwork. Most of the teams that the Golden State Warriors face will put their best defender on him. However, he still seems to end up with quality shots. This is because he has learned to set his man up, use off-ball screens to get open, and then get right into his shot on the catch.

This catch and shoot basketball shooting drill will help you work on your footwork and use off-ball screens for a curl shot. If you want to shoot off the move, you need to spend a lot of time developing good footwork and getting squared up on your shot. Anyone can shoot on the move, but not everyone can make a high percentage of those shots.

When a player starts getting tired, the first thing to go is their technique and basketball fundamentals. With this drill, the player will have to complete the basketball drill and lock in as they get tired; this will help them do the correct footwork and shooting form in a game when they get tired. Basketball shooting drills like this are perfect for working on specific shots that a player will get during the course of a game.
