Foundation of modern offence. Ball-handler comes off a screen and reads the defence: drive if the big drops, pull-up if they switch, pocket pass if they trap, kick to the wing if help comes.
Walk through each read at half-speed before live reps.
• Set up the screen with a hard step opposite first
• Use the screen — shoulder to hip with the screener
• Read the big's hips: drop = drive, hedge = pull-up, switch = mismatch
• Pocket pass to the roller is always available
• Eyes scan the weak side — corner shooter is the easiest help-kick
Add a corner shooter for kick-out reps. Add weak-side defender to read help. Live 4-on-4 with 'no isolation' rule — must use a ball screen. Reverse roles — same player reads as ball-handler then as screener.
