The Ground Game will help them to hit open space, get higher on every shot, and help them with one of the most under-taught skills on all of basketball, lateral movement. Lateral movement is never given its proper due in Basketball as most coaches emphasize Jump training and straight-ahead speed. But the ability to play defense and guard a team’s fastest players will always come down to how well a player moves laterally.

Training each and every movement that a post player will ever make in a game while using a Ground Game Raptor, will redefine how that player plays their post position.
