Horns vs Man – Screen for 4

Horns vs Man – Screen for Power Forward

Keys to success: This key is the back screen ‘1’ sets for ‘4’. ‘1’ has to set a screen that – best case scenario – frees ‘4’ for a layup, or worst case, the defense switches so a guard is forced to guard ‘4’. That’s why we want that initial action between ‘1’ and ‘4’ to be an exchange at the top and not a ball screen. We want the switch to come later in the play, under the basket.

Elapsed Time: 3-5 seconds.

Helpful Drills: Finishing drills; Reading Defense drills.
