The Baylor Bears use this development program to win national championships and create new NBA stars. Coach Scott Drew likes to use eight drills that are mainly helping the guards to become better offensive players. You will learn how to move without the ball and how to shoot fake, jab, and attack the rim with the change of direction when you receive it.

Warm Up Shooting Drills

First, players need to attack from the top of the key, and they must create a habit to attack the elbows. When they start sweating, we go to the wing series where players are sliding, ready to receive the ball and shoot it.

Ball Screen Actions

Because at Baylor, players are expected to do many different things from the ball screens, these drills give them a variety of options for finishing after the ball screens.

Single Double Shots

This chapter is a multiple screen session aimed at teaching the players how to play of the screens. The shooter starts under the rim and has an option to use a single or double screen.

Single Double Circuit

This drill is a more complex version of the previous one, and it uses all the screens Bears usually use in the games. Guards learn how to use any option that can happen during the set plays.

Change of Direction Series

The goal is to teach the players when and how to change direction and speed when attacking the rim.

Slide, Fill & Drift Actions

Reading and reacting is one of the basic principles of the Baylor offense. Elite guards need to make quick decisions during the game playing both on and off the ball.

Transition 3's

If you like to run the floor, it is mandatory to do the drills to help your guards score at full speed. Guards need to learn how to shoot both when they dribble the ball up and run without the ball.

Inside Outside Actions

It is crucial to understand how to get the shots when you are starting out of the post. Guards are taught effective post entry passes from proper angles and how to move after the pass.

5 Spot Finishes

This drill emphasizes finishing at the rim under the contact. Players can choose how to finish, but they need to score 4 out of 5 shoots.

Conclusion

Hopefully, the drills and skills shown in this video will be beneficial to you or your players. We encourage you to keep working and getting better.
