Staggered stance squat jumps are a great way to simulate this because you are not jumping from a traditional stance each time. This vertical jump basketball drill will translate into the game when you jump in traffic to finish at the basket or to get a rebound, and you don’t have the ability to get a completely clean jumping path.
