  • 20 cross over

Damian Lillard’s Shooting Drill - see video below

Pick 3-7 spots (spots are wings, corner, slots, topl

Shoot 10 shots from each spot.  Order of shots is: 3 pointer, 1 dribble pull up right, 1 dribble pull up left, 3 pointer, 1 dribble pull up right, 1 dribble pull up left, 3 pointer, 1 dribble pull up right, 1 dribble pull up left, three.  Count how many you make.

Move to a new spot until you have shot all of your shots from each spot.  Then you can figure out your percentage.  For example, if you shot from 5 spots, you had 50 shot attempts.  If you made 25, then your percentage is 25/50 x 100 = 50%.  If you made 21 then your maths is 21/50 x 100, which equals 42%.  Repeat to see if you can beat your percentage!

If you aren’t ready for 3s, then shoot a two instead.  If you want more shots, then add another shot in there like: 3 pointer, 2 pointer, 1 dribble pull up right, 1 dribble pull left.  Repeat this for 15 shots then move spots.  You get the idea, it is your workout, so make it fun and challenging for you!

Make sure and log your shot is the the Online Form for the 2000 Club.
