Ray Allen Series

Directions:

Players are divided in two lines - one in the corner and one at the top of the key
The corner line is the shooting line and the line at the top of the key is the passing line (if you don't have enough players, a coach can serve as the permanent passer)
The corner line passes the ball to the top of the key
After the pass, the corner line player cuts to the cone, simulating a screen
Depending on what we're working on, the player who is cutting can either make a tight cut, fade cut, or back cut
The passer should deliver the ball to the cutter
After the cutter receives the pass, they should work on a designated finish
Types of finishes include:

Catch and shoot, one dribble pull-up, floater, step back, step back counter, regular lay-up, power lay-up, shot fake finish, inside hand finish, awkward finish, reverse lay-up, pull-back attack, up and under, etc.

Other Teaching Points:

Players must make game speed cuts to get game-like shots
Cutters should touch the "screen" before using it
Communication is key - all actions need to be verbalized
