Jump Stop

Be able to shoot off a screen or on a quick pass.

Instructions

Set up a trash can or a chair anywhere on the court within the players shooting range. Have the player dribble at a decent sprint right at the can or chair. Then reaching the chair have the player shoot a quick release shot.

Tips

Move the diversion around all over the court so they can improve on getting a quicker shot from anywhere. Try getting as close to the chair as possible and as you get better run at it faster.

Skills

This helps your shot off of a quick pass or when your open for only that quick second.
