A slasher is a fast and athletic player who attempts to get close to the basket for a layup, Slam dunk, dunk or teardrop (basketball), teardrop shot. This style of high-percentage two-point play is commonly referred to as slashing. Slashers usually take more free-throw shots than other players due to the increased amount of contact made on them as they constantly and aggressively run towards the basket.
