This play involves an up-screen for the guard leading to an open key. This can often lead to a simple pass inside and easy layup. If that option isn’t available, the post player sets a screen on the wing.
Key Personnel:
5 should be a post player or the best screener on the team.
2 should be the player you want dribbling in a pick-and-roll.
1 should have the ability to finish at the rim with pressure.
Coaching Points:
It’s crucial that 5 ‘hunts’ for the 1’s defender and then sets a strong screen if there’s going to be a chance for the pass inside and open layup.
1 can cut ball-side or weak-side of the screen and should direct themselves towards the ball-side block looking to receive the basketball.
2 must be able to make smart decisions out of the wing spot.
