Number 18 Drill (1:53-3:55 of the 3 Shooting Drills Every...from EGT Basketball)
This is a great way to get close to 100 made shots in 5 min. You need a rebounder for this drill, even better would be to have a rebounder and a passer and 2 basketballs.
- Spots are corner, wing, top, wing, corner (or you can go wing, slot, top, slot, wing).
- You get one minute to make 18 shots. If you don’t make 18 then you try again, but the goal is now 17. If you don’t get that your goal becomes 16. Find a number you are comfortable with.
- If you get the goal number in 1 minute, then you move to spot #2.
