This is a catch and shoot basketball shooting drill that will allow the shooter to get up a lot of shots in a short period of time and really work on developing great mechanics and muscle memory. The time component and the number of makes in a row will also help the player stay mentally engaged and learn to shoot under pressure. Basketball drills like this are critical for helping shooters deal with pressure and for allowing quality repetitions when shooting a large number of shots at a time.
