THE NUGGETS DRILL is a competitive drill that forces a player to make 3 shots in a row from a spot before
he/she misses 2 in a row from that spot. If a player misses 2 in a row before he/she makes 3 in a row, they
run a down and back and then try it from that spot again. The goal is to get 3 in a row from 5 different spots
before 2 in a row are missed. The 5 spots on the floor include both corners, both wings and the point. The
drill incorporates conditioning, focus, and competition. In this frame, Player #1 will pass to Player #2 in the
corner until Player #2 hits 3 in a row. Player #2 will slide from the cone to the corner before each shot, so
there is movement on each catch.
