Creating Game Like Conditions in Drills:

There are multiple variables in creating game-like conditions in practice and in drills including court position, proximity to the basket, opponents, teammates, ball speed, formation, time on the game/shot clock, crowd noise, playing surface conditions, to name a few. 

These elements all shape skill execution. Creating game-like conditions in drills involves incorporation these variables into the drills. When a game starts, a skill is seldom performed the same way twice.
