Having good hands around the basket and being able to tip in offensive basketball rebounds is a skill you can develop. Big men need to have soft hands and take advantage of the free points they can get around the basket. These free points can be the difference in a close game. This basketball drill is also going to help the player to develop a quick second jump. Sometimes the first shot or tip in ends up being a miss, and if this happens, the player will need to quickly jump again to tip the ball in.
