Dwayne Wade claims that he shoots over 75% on his bank shots and it’s something of a lost art. Scottie Pippen use to do it and Wade says it works especially well on the wings.
Players love it when they have a benchmark they can aim for, especially from their favorite NBA players. Great coaches that have had the privilege of coaching NBA players can motivate teams by sharing how professional players do on that drill.

Steve Novak – 300 made shots every day.
Buddy Hield – 300 – 500 made shots every day.
Tyler Harvey – 350 – 400 made shots every day.
