Use this drill to train your players to make the pass and immediately cut to a new spot. The progression moves the cutter from the wing to the low post to the block, so each rep arrives at a different landing point and keeps the defense guessing. Repetition through all six cuts builds the instinct to be in motion the moment the ball leaves your hands.
