Start in a wide stance on the movesmat and dribble in front of body. Pound the ball, and put in your pocket. KPI: when putting ball in pocket have fingers point to side or down (if point up or forward it will trigger a reflex to dribble the ball down earlier than you want).

The drop is many times compared to a hesitation. The drop will be great in that situation, but it’s so much more than that since the footwork can be used when doing bounds, in pick’n’roll situations, bounce of and more. When dropping with right hand your right foot goes forward and left foot back. Use the colors on the MovesMat for visual accountability (or put tape on the floor). KPI: timing of drop and ball in pocket to use the elasticity in your ankle to explode out of it. KPI: make sure to stay wide using the width of the mat to keep all your options available (dribble straight, right, left), step in our back in to shoot.
