The website posted by Woodee is a good start. The link to "Steph's" is a good ball-handling source.

I'll tell you what my older son has done off and on since we was nine.

One-ball and two-ball moving ball handling drills in our driveway and sidewalk: One-ball includes crossovers, behind the back, between the legs. Two-ball drills include simultaneous, yo-yo, crossover with between the legs, crossover with behind the back, etc.

One-ball and two-ball stationary ball handling drills: use the Steph's link for a sample.

Shooting drills: he shoots seven spots around the lane, then seven spots at a mid-range distance, then five spots around the 3-point arc. He mixes in free-throws in sets of ten. When he shoots with someone else, they do a moving shooting drill, where one person will rebound while the other moves between two stations (e.g., baseline and corner of the key), taking ten shots, alternately, at each station.

I know this is long-winded, and apologize for being so. One more thing, then I'm done. Hawks Coach mentioned Dennis Rodman as an example of a late bloomer. And, I agree with him, Dennis Rodman was a gifted athlete. But, for every Dennis Rodman there are countless numbers of kids who don't put forth the effort needed to succeed, so end up being bench warmers and "role" players their senior year of high school.

You are very lucky. You are gifted with the basketball skill that can't be taught - height. With hard work you can succeed - Shane Battier is a great example. But, you have to start today, and you have to stay with it. My son has worked hard for several years, and the effort has paid off for him. I wish for you the same passion he has for the game.
