I'm thinking that a modified version of this would be better. By using players to pass a ball to the player while they head toward the locations noted by the chair and then turn and shoot. This gets more of the team involved and provides more of a game like atmosphere. You could either have players positioned on the outside around the three point line or one at the top of the key. the player passing the ball would then head in to rebound to enforce the "follow the ball" guidelines once the ball is in the air to the basket.
