Basketball Drills: Wing Shift Progression with Drew Hanlen
by Nick Bartlett, on Apr 29, 2019 9:45:08 AM
It's always great having our good friend, partner, and NBA Skills Trainer, Drew Hanlen of Pure Sweat Basketball, in the Dish Lab to demonstrate his favorite drills and workouts on the Dr. Dish CT shooting machine.
In this video, he works on a progression based on catching the ball in a "Wing Shift" situation. This is when an offensive player attacks the middle. When the gap defender helps, the player in the slot position needs to shift to the wing to create extra space for a closeout.
As the player catches the ball, Drew goes through 4 different options to attack the defense:
1. Knock down jump shot
2. Shot fake slide
3. Downhill finish
4. Mid range move
Check out the full breakdown below!

This is a perfect way to simulate a game-like scenario while using the Dr. Dish CT for maximum reps AND statistical feedback.
Each drill should be programmed with a goal of makes on each side of the floor. A great start is to have the drill goal set at 20 makes (10 per side) for a total of 80 game-like makes. The pass tempo can be changed on the machine but typically should be set for 5-7 seconds.
You can find this workout in the Dr. Dish Training Management System and app.
