The faster you can get up the floor with the basketball while still being in control of your dribble, the more pressure a ball handler can put on the defense. So whether it is to get up the floor to finish at the basket or to set up a teammate. It adds a lot of value to the offense.

When doing the one ball basketball dribbling drill, it is important to remember that it is okay to turn the ball over.
