a) Relocation

3-spot 3-point shooting, go until you make 25,

- dribble in and shoot from the left wing,
- relocate to the top for a stationary 3 (or a 3 on the run),
- from the right wing, start with a make, shoot until a miss.

Start over, dribble in and shoot from the right wing, relocate to the top, then move to the left wing.

(Variation - at the top, also start with a make and end on a miss.)
 
- on the right side, drive with the inside left hand, look off middle, into a transition 3 (step left-right, freeze footwork), continue, change sides
- inside-out move (drive the defender inside the 3-point line), shoot (same footwork)
- come to a stop (left-right), show shot, push cross, finish at the rim.
