What is a floater?

• A floater is a shot released when it's on its way
  down. 
• The aim is not to make it as high as possible but
  to get it closer to being at or below basket
  level. This makes it harder for defenders to
  block because they have less time to react. It
  also forces them out of their defensive crouch,
  allowing you more space under the basket if they
  decide not to foul you while going up for an
  offensive rebound.
