Drill: Mikan (and Reverse Mikan)

1 starts under the rim on the right side, ball at the chin, and lays it in right-handed off the left foot, aiming the top corner of the square, because the glass forgives a hard finish and the floor does not.
He catches the ball out of the net before it drops, as high as he can reach, and the jump carries him to the left side of the rim, ball kept above the head, because the moment it drops to the waist the rep is wasted; no dribble.
Left-hand layup off the right foot, exploding on the jump instead of shuffling the feet, because the point is one jump per finish and a weak hand that gets the same reps as the strong one.
Catch, land on the right side, and keep the rhythm going for twenty makes; then turn the back to the baseline for the reverse Mikan, finishing off the far side of the glass, so the player learns the second angle too.
Right hand again off the left foot, ball above the chest the whole time; a Mikan done slowly is just layups, which is why the pace stays at game speed until the count is done.
