Purpose of the Drill:
This ball screen emphasis drill is a progression drill that provides several screen op
Instructions
- Start with two lines on the baseline.
- Have the player nearest the sideline roll the ball out to the three point line.
- The same player proceeds to sprint out to gather the ball at the three-point line.
- The other player standing out of bounds just outside the lane, slide shuffles out of bounds to the three point line and then sprints to the wing.
- The player picking up the rolling ball, squares up to the basket, pump fakes a shot, and then passes to the wing.
- After the pass, the player sprints to set a screen for the wing, who comes off the screen and dribbles in for a lay-up.
- Option #1 - Screen and then cut to the basket
- The drill stays the same, except when the screener sets a screen, the ball handler comes off the screen and passes to the screener, who is cutting back door.
- Option #2 - Pick and Pop
- Same play but the screen then pops to the wing and the ballhandler passes to him for a jump shot.
- Make sure the screener is staying low.
- Option #3 - Dribble hand off
- Instead of passing to the wing and setting a screen, the player receiving the ball at the top will dribble right at the defender.
- The wing will do a V cut to come to set up his defender for the dribble screen and come over the dribbler, getting the handoff.
- The player receiving the handoff then can cut to the basket for a layup, or hit the screener going back door or hit the screener popping out to the wing.
- The final steps is to add live defenders and then work on having the offensive team starts reading the defenders.
- First add one defenders and then add a second defender. Finally, you can go to a 3 on 3 situation.
- Offense needs to read to do the various options they just drilled.
Points of Emphasis:
- Make sure the players catch in triple threat and look at the rim.
- Emphasize that the players need to set proper picks.
- Have the players run at game speed so when defense is applied they will be prepared for that pressure.
