Quick 2

Coming down in transition your shooting guard(2) and small forward(3) should be on the right and left wings, respectively, and your center(5) should be trying to post directly underneath the rim. Your point guard(1) is bringing the ball up on the right, and your power forward(4) trailing him to the left.

Once your power forward reaches the three point line, have your point guard swing it to him and leave to set your shooting guard a screen. Your 4-man should then swing it to the small forward, and set a screen a couple feet behind your point guard along the same plane – this is called a staggered screen.

As the pass is made to your small forward, your center should flash to him and try to seal down low. If there isn’t a layup available there, he will hit your shooting guard as he comes off the power forward’s screen at the top of the key.

Coaching Keys

Emphasize the importance of a tight curl off the screens – they should be bumping shoulders
Your power forward should roll to the basket after his screen looking for either the pass or a putback on the shot
Don’t just look off the center – if you make that pass a couple times the defense will start to collapse, giving you an even easier look at the three
With youth, make sure to plan screening drills into your practice before you show them the play – fundamentals first
