The post relocation drill is a great drill to use if you are working out a guard or wing and a low post player.  This drill will teach the post player how to relocate on different angles of penetration from the guard or wing player while allowing them to learn to make that pass to the post players in their new area.  At the same time, it teaches the post player how to score from those areas with proper footwork and solid finishing moves.
