This is the third progression in the “Dribble Into” drill series, with the first being a jump hook, the second being a jump shot. In this progression, the player makes his drop step move and the counters the defense with either a step through or drop step counter to the basket.
Set the chairs as in the first 2 “Dribble Into” progressions, 3 chairs in the middle of the lane to form a “shooting pocket” and one chair outside the lane for the passer. The ball is on the chair outside the lane.
Player grabs the ball, makes a long drop step and uses his power dribble.
Once in the pocket, he simulates that he has been defended to the middle.
In the first illustration, player then front pivots and make a step through counter to the basket.
In the second illustration, the player drop steps to the basket
