Post Drills to Improve Your Low Post Profieciency

No matter what level of basketball you're currently playing at

, you'll need to perform drills outside of regular practice to become a standout player. These drills can help you become a better player no matter what position you play. All players should be well-rounded , meaning guards should be skilled in the post and post players should be skilled outside the post. For example, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are skilled on the post and have an array of post moves.

1. Mikan Drill

This drill helps with your footwork and your touch around the rim. First stand under the rim with the basketball, then push off your left leg and perform a right handed layup, catch the ball as soon as it comes out of the net and in one motion perform a left handed layup. Make at least 10 consecutive layups on each side, do this at least 3x in your workout. When your doing the layups, make sure that your only jumping off one leg and not two.

2.Hook Shots

Stand above the block on the post with the ball. Turn over either shoulder and shoot a hook shot with your outside hand(the hand furthest from the goal) and use your inside arm to block off a defender. Also, if a defender is guarding you closely, take a dribble into the defender knocking them back (this make it difficult for the defender to contest your shot and also works for other shots) and then perform the hook shot as normal. You should perform 20 on each side of the paint with 10 over each shoulder, do this at least twice in your workout.

3. Drop Step

Stand above the block on the post with the ball. Dribble the ball with both hands while taking the foot closest to the baseline and stepping to the goal. Shoot a layup high off the glass to finish. If there is a defender guarding you, try to step around their bottom foot with yours and bump into them while performing your layup.
