3-cone reaction drill
3 attackers have a ball + 1 defender lined up as in the picture on the right.

The coach calls out the name of one of the attackers (or a number).
When the name is called, the defender sprints to the right attacker and follows one of three commands:
X1 dribbles via the baseline 2 to 3 dribbles. The defender takes a charge here.
X2 makes a shot fake, the defender makes a close out. Later expand to fake + dribble.
X3 dribbles from the baseline to the basket. The defender has to close out the baseline here.
