Use Kentucky Shooting to train your wings and your five in quick-release catch-and-shoot reps off the move. The ball flows from the five to the wing and back in a continuous pattern — your three is always catching on the cut and firing from the perimeter. Run it to sharpen timing, communication, and the habit of being ready to shoot before the ball arrives.
