3 players, one shooter, one rebounder and one defender. Players rotate on each shot. The person not rebounding or shooting closes out on the shot. If the shooter fakes and drives, he goes two on one, with 3 dribbles.
The drill starts with the shooter shooting, the player that rebounds passes to the person who didn't shoot or rebound. After the rebounder passes out he/she closes out the shooter. The previous shooter goes to get in rebounding position, rebounds the ball and passes out to the defender. The rotation goes, shooter to rebounder to defender back to shooter. If defender closes out too strong and unbalanced, the shooter is to fake and go 1 on 2. One point is scored for each basket.
