This combination basketball shooting drill is used by the South Alabama coaching staff, and it is going to focus on different scoring moves that a guard or wing player will come across during the course of a game. It is important to practice offensive moves that a player is going to get in your offense so that they are comfortable executing the move when they get a chance to use it during the course of a game.
Another great thing about basketball shooting drills like this is that they force the player to stay mentally engaged and think as they get tired. Having the player do a sequence of different moves in a row will force them to think throughout the course of the drill.
