Angled Drop Step and Slide Drill

From a defensive stance above the block, execute an angled drop step (at an 8 o'clock or 4 o'clock trajectory) followed by two lateral slides to cut off the driver toward the sideline.

Key points

  • Drop the trail foot at an angle (8 o'clock left, 4 o'clock right) rather than straight back at 6 o'clock
  • Stay above the low block to prevent straight-line drives into the paint
  • Push immediately into two low lateral slides to dictate the offensive path

Common mistakes

Stepping straight back at 6 o'clock, which surrenders open middle penetration to the rim.
