    This is a comprehensive workout. Nicely done. You should also take a look at Five-Star’s Basketball Drill Book. There’s a lot of good material in there for the beginning and advanced player. Bob Hurley, Sr., also has an intensive individual workout regimen for offseason improvement.

    Yours in hoops,
