Player Tips: Layup Drill with Arizona Commit Kailyn Gilbert

Kailyn Gilbert is a point guard at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, who has committed to Arizona. In this Player Tips segment, she demonstrates a drill designed to enhance finishing skills around the rim when facing taller opponents.

The drill focuses on placing the ball on various spots of the backboard, developing the soft touch needed to score against bigger defenders. Gilbert recommends 50 repetitions with the dominant hand and 100 with the non-dominant hand, emphasizing that undersized players must master creative finishes to compete at higher levels.
