NBA Draft Combine 3 Man Weave Scoring Drill by Wes Kosel

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

NBA Draft Combine 3 Man Weave Scoring Drill by Wes Kosel

Here is a 3 man weave scoring drill from the NBA Draft Combine. This NBA Draft Combine 3 Man Weave Scoring Drill is great for practicing game-like shots at full speed. The drill uses 3 players at a time. Player 1 starts with the ball under the basket and players 2 and 3 start in the outside lanes. It starts with 1 passing to 2 up the floor and 1 running behind 2. Player 2 dribbles up the middle of the floor as 3 runs the left lane and 1 runs the right lane. 2 drives to the left elbow at full speed and kicks the ball out to 3. 3 shot fakes then drives to the middle of the lane. 3 passes out to 1 on the right wing. 1 then drives to the basket and shoots a lay-up or floater. The 2 coaches then step onto the floor and pass to 3 and 2 who take shots on the wing. 3 and 2 rebound their own shots and pass back to the coaches. 1 rebounds his lay-up and takes the ball back to the other side of the floor. Once 2 and 3 take their shots, the next group of players start on the opposite side of the floor. Once each player has gone, change the direction of the drill with a pass to the left to start.
