The Ball Screen

The ball screen is executed in offense in several ways but there a couple of ways which are most prevalent.

The first way is off an initial entry vs. pressure when we send the trail G through and bring the C up high to screen for the ball.  This allows the PG to drive the ball all the way to the basket, to drive and kick out to the wing for a 3pt shot or even to play pick and roll with the C.

The second way in which the ball screen occurs is off the C handoff from the perimeter.  The C when he catches the ball on the perimeter has the option of taking the ball over to someone who he wants to play with.  If this player comes around for a handoff many times a ball screen action is set here.
