Regardless of what position you play, ball handling drills can add a lot of value to your game. If you are a post player they will help you become more versatile and also improve your overall hand coordination; if you are a guard they are a must. This basketball drill is going to work on ball control and then being comfortable dribbling with either hand. Using two basketballs at the same time forces the player to dribble with their weak hand, and it also adds a level of difficulty to the drill.
