Player on the baseline is a cutter and player on the top is a passer. The cutter runs towards the key until one foot is inside the key then they change direction and move towards the ball. When they are free they must signal for the ball with their outside hand. Once they receive the ball they can then square up towards the basket and go for a shot or drive for a lay up.

Player 1, with the ball in hand, starts on one of the corners of the grid and passes to player 2 after they have run inside the area, touched the cone, and then run outside into open space to receive the pass. Player 2 then passes to player 3 and the drill continues. • Look for sharp running with a burst of acceleration after players have touched the inside cone.
