Throw when the receiver is about to break, not after they’re already open. Late throws invite defenders into the lane.

Touch throws vs. bullets

• Touch: when you need the ball to land over a short defender.
• Bullet: when the window is tight but you’re throwing on time.

Safe angles that boost completion %

Favor throws toward the sideline and away from inside leverage. If you can only see half the window, don’t throw it.

Pair this with passing reads to cut picks and keep drives alive.
