Steph Curry Shooting Series
This shooting drill leads to better game shooting. It incorporates numerous situations and improves multiple aspects of shooting that include spot up shooting, shooting off the dribble, cutting to the ball, flare cuts, and fast break shooting.
Spot Up / Quick Release
The first shot starts from the wing or the corner.
You simply catch the ball, step towards the basket, and shoot it as quickly as possible.
Shoot Off The Dribble
This is the same as the first shot, except you add a long, explosive dribble to the basket then shoot.
Cut To Ball - Corner To Wing Cut
Next, you work on shooting off a cut from the corner to the wing. In a game situation, this could be a straight cut or a curl cut off a screen.
Flare or Fade Cut - Wing to Corner Cut
This is another game-like shot where you execute a flare or fade cut. This can be done off dribble penetration, a down screen, or a flare screen.
Fast Break Shooting
The final shot reflects a shot you will get off of the fast break.
The random/variable aspect will improve your shooting percentage during games.In games, you rarely shoot the same shot twice in a row.
While block practice (shooting the same shot 10 times in a row) is important, variable practice (shooting a different shot each repetition) is also important to maximizing game performance and better shooting. Ideally, you do both.
The combination of shots followed by one another will also lead to better conditioning.
Tips To Make Drill Competitive
Put a timer on each set - That way, you are not allowed to jog through the shots, you have to sprint to each spot and shoot game shots and game speeds. You only count the makes before the timer. This will only build on your conditioning as well.
With 2 balls, a rebounder, and a passer, high school and college players should be able to complete this in 20 to 25 seconds. Middle school players should be able to complete in 30 seconds, but you may need to adjust.
Make 4 or more shots - Set the goal of the number of made shots for each set to 4 or more.
At first, your goal might be 3.
