Start 1 line on the baseline, in the corner. Player 1 rolls the ball hard out towards the opposite end, with player 2 sprinting hard after the loose ball. He must pick it up with 2 hands for control, get his eyes up to see the floor, and go hard at the basket for a lay up. Player 1 must trail hard, because he must be available as a trailer option of player 2 cannot control the ball for his own layup, and to get the rebound out of the net before it touches the floor. Switch roles coming back the opposite way.
None
2 or more
The key is controling the loose ball with 2 hands before trying to dribble. Also emphasize sprinting hard to the ball and as a trailer. Finally, the ball handler must get his eyes up on the rim as he attacks the basket.
