This drill needs 1 passer and 1 player posting up ready to shoot the basketball, but can be done with more players.
The pass will be made into the post, once the player receives the ball they will drop step and shoot. Watch the video to see the footwork of the move.
The passer will become the shooter and the next person in line will become the passer.
