Initial setup. 1 has the ball at the top, 5 on the left wing.
DESCRIPTION
Shooter starts under the basket. Two bigs at the elbows. Shooter chooses left or right, runs off the screen of one big and gets a catch-and-shoot.
Classic NBA action — gives the shooter the choice, defenders have to guess.
COACHING POINTS
Shooter: read the defender's hips, go opposite.
Set up the screen — fake one direction first.
Big: sets a real, wide-base screen.
Shoulder to shoulder past the screen — no daylight.
The non-screener big steps up to pass.
Add a defender on the shooter who tries to read the cut. Floppy into ball-screen (after the catch, the big who screened then sets a ball-screen). Stagger version (one screen before the other).
