Offensive rebounds are a great way to score points, but if you are unsure of what to do with the basketball once you get it, you will limit your chances to score. For this basketball drill, you are going to simulate tipping the basketball out to yourself on a rebound and then squaring up for a shot before your defender can recover. If practiced, this is a good high percentage shot for a forward to shoot. These types of basketball rebounding drills will not only work on offensive rebounding but will help you develop a soft shot around the basket.
