By the end of this presentation, you will know exactly what you need to do in order to have the skill set to move to the next level. Wood will present more than 20 wing basketball drills that will help you become a top-level offensive player and a lock-down defender.

Elite Wing Guard Standards

Wood has developed a list of 10 standards that every wing guard must be able to execute if they are going to play at the next level. Those standards are:

1. Be able to execute the five angles of the ball screen
2. Effectively feed, cut, and play off the post
3. Shoot 35 to 45 percent from 3-point range in games, 60 to 70 percent in practice
4. Have two separation moves off the dribble and off the triple-threat position with counters for each
5. Read the defense off of a down screen or pin down screen
6. Make open shots from 15 to 19 feet at 70 to 80 percent
7. Score in transition
8. Be a great perimeter defender and contain defensive penetration
9. Be in great shape both mentally and physically
10. Finish around the rim with secondary moves

Wing Basketball Drills for Offense

Wood covers everything you need to become the complete wing. A variety of drills are covered using a number of props including cones and chairs. The emphasis is on building a repertoire of moves that allows you to attack the defense. Wood and Drake demonstrate the drills at full speed to prepare you for actual game situations. There are shooting drills off the catch, off screens, and in transition.

Wing Basketball Drills for Defense

Being an elite defender is also part of being a complete wing and Wood and Drake share with you a number of defensive drills that can be used in your individual workouts or during your actual team practices. Wood and Drake stress the basic fundamentals of defense – staying low, keeping the hands up, and communicating constantly throughout each drill.
