There is no way for anyone to give you a list of drills that would really help you without knowing a lot more about you, your size, your skills, and what you need to improve the most. There are different drills for agility, shooting, timing, passing, and just recognizing and anticipating plays.
Be specific as to what you play, your strengths and weaknesses and it would help.

The Mikan Drill
Named after George Mikan, one of the NBA’s early stars, this drill is a key to improving your shot. The drill involves shooting a hook shot in the lane, but it really helps you improve your overall game. The Mikan drill helps you improve your hook shot, but it also helps you improve your coordination, touch around the basket, shot release, follow through, and confidence in your short range game.
Start in front of the basket, 2 to 3 feet in front of the rim. Jump off of your left leg and shoot a right-handed hook shot off the backboard and into the basket. Rebound the ball, and immediately go into the shooting motion of shooting a left-handed hook shot (jumping off of your right leg). Remember to explode up and off the ground as you shoot the shot. Keep both hands on the ball until you are in the final stages of releasing the shot. Fully extend your shooting arm, and release the ball high in the air, using your non-shooting arm to create space between you and the defender. Shoot 15 shots with each arm, then move back 2 or 3 feet and repeat the drill, shooting another 15 shots with each arm
Zig Zags
Stand on the baseline just under the right side of the backboard and dribble to the right sideline at a 45-degree angle with your right hand. Stay low, keep your head and eyes up so you can see the floor. When you get to the sideline, change direction with a cross-over dribble and dribble with your left hand at a 45-degree angle to the center of the court. Once your each the center of the court, switch directions again with a cross-over and dribble to the right sideline. Repeat this drill the full length of the court. Once you reach the other end of the floor, turn around and do the same drill back.
Repeat this drill for 5 full court lengths. Keep the ball on your fingertips. Stay low, and keep your head and eyes up so you can see the court at all times.
Cross the Lane Jump Shot:
Playing in the post will often involve cutting across the lane to receive a pass. To simulate this game-situation, toss the ball out to yourself as you cut across the lane. Catch the ball, and go up for a quick baby-hook shot. Do this cutting from right to left across the lane (shooting the ball with your left hand), then switch and do it cutting from left to right across the lane (shooting the hook with your right hand). Shoot 10 shots from cutting across the lane from each direction.
Then swtich to a face-up move. Cut across the lane while tossing the ball to yourself, but rather than going up for a quick hook shot, turn and fully face the basket. First, shoot a quick jump shot. Do this 10 times from each direction.
Then, turn and face, make a quick pump fake and take one dribble and go up strong to the basket. Do this 10 times from each direction. These drills should get you in great shape, help you work on your inside touch, and make you a more confident inside offensive player.
