The shooter starts at the top of the key, moves for a 15-17 foot shot at an elbow using a one-two stop (left-right, for a right-hander).

Touch the top of the key after each shot, shoot from the other elbow. Go for two minutes, switch with the rebounder.

This is a very good shooting drill for post players.
