Not all practices are the same.  But a typical SU practice will go something like this:
[LIST]
[*]Warm ups / individual pre-practice shooting
[*]Stretching
[*]Conditioning / running to limber up
[*]Fast paced, full court layup drills
[*]Breaking into positional units, for repetitive skills and shooting drills
[*]UCLA drill [which features 3 on 2 fast breaks, followed by a 2-1 break the other way -- to teach players how to attack with numbers, and how to defend shorthanded]
[*]Scrimmaging, which places a HEAVY emphasis on running offensive sets
[*]Form shooting drills
[*]Free throws
[*]Various drills that involve more conditioning / running and the team shooting from various spots on the floor tired [to simulate what they might experience during a game]
[/LIST]

The notion that JB just rolls the ball out offensively is false.  The team does work on structured plays, and running half court offensive sets.  Ultimately, it comes down to the players. The talent is there for this to be a terrific offensive squad, but there's some kind of disconnect.
