Spin passes to the low post from under the basket, make (or take) 3 of each move on one side then the other side. Progressions

1. Reverse pivot on the baseline (outside) foot (Sikma move), crossover middle, one dribble, drop step and spin baseline, power layup, outside hand.

2. Sikma and shoot.

3. Front pivot on the top foot (middle), shoot.

4. Two (crab) dribbles middle, drop step and spin baseline, power layup.

5. Front pivot baseline, shoot.

6. Baseline drop step, one dribble, power layup.

7. Two dribbles middle, shot fake, step thru, finish off one foot.

Note the travel violation in the step-4 spin (at least before FIBA rule changes in 2017), but not in step 1. Pound the last dribble and keep the ball close to the body to spin faster and protect the ball.

For these and other post-move options (e.g. baseline spin), see Post play - Pasquali moves and shots, Post moves & shots, Skills Checklist - Post play.

- shoulders teed to your defender (not back to the basket)
- sweep and go, finish on either side (quick-up move - only two steps)
- sweep, one dribble, spin middle or stepback jumper
- reverse pivot and shoot
- create space by taking a 270-degree front pivot off your back foot, shoot a baseline fadeaway (up and under counter)
- sweep and cross-step middle, one-dribble finish at the rim, jump hook, up and under counter, slide or spin baseline to beat a help defender.
 
Jared Berggren - Midline finishing - reverse pivot face up, side jab baseline, one dribble middle, skip off the baseline foot, land
- outside-inside, jump hook
- on two (jump stop), can step thru, shot fake jump hook, reverse pivot
- inside-outside, controlled fadeaway.
 
Berggren - Mid-post step out -  as a pass is in the air, reach with the outside foot (towards the baseline), front pivot for a shot
- counters (live dribble) - step around (baseline), step thru (middle), reverse pivot middle (can put the ball down with the inside hand)
- can also step out off a back-in dribble.
 
Thomas Soltau - Inside-pivot half turn - outside pivot foot (ball on outside shoulder), step inside with the other foot [a middle jab], drive middle if he doesn't move, square up (reverse pivot) and shoot if you get a reaction. Can step in, step out, step in again. Also see Shooting - Procopio wing.
 
Soltau - Copycat drill - make a move, duplicate it, repeat on the other side.up
