When I drive left, I'm a threat to shoot at any time. But what about when I go right? Do I know how to put myself in a threat position, and quickly. What's my plan?
This is a skill gap for most players, so it's a good place to explore. Try out these strategies and see what works for you.
Thanks to Steve Serio for his camera work, token D, and more than token O.
Speaking of which, check out the difference between my bounce spin and Steve's. You'll notice that when I bounce spin (1:50) - option #4 - I do so almost on the spot. That's because I'm taller than Steve, who's defending me. I know I can get that shot off as long as I spin quickly enough. I'm not (too) worried about getting blocked.
When Steve does it though (1:54), he not only spins, but rolls deeper into the corner away from the basket to create space. He does that so he can get his shot off against me, a taller defender.
In either case, the key is to develop your ability to consistently, then quickly, bounce spin, find your balance, and shoot.
Have fun!
