About This Play/Drill

This is a very common action in the Maverick's playbook. This false motion must be honored with players like Doncic, Hardaway, KP and the rest of the Mavericks weapons. This stagger into a ball screen will prompt a switch and the opportunity for the Mavericks to roll their newest big man, 7'2" Moses Brown, into the paint with a guard on his back and surrounded by shooters. This set can be run for any player you would like to get a deep paint catch for. Video clip below.

  • Luka will fake at Hardways screen as Hardaway ghosts the scree to the wing. As soon as the guard clears Powell he will follow on his heels to set a ball screen.
  • This screen needs to be set on the edge of the middle 1/3 of the floor allowing Luka to stop around the top of the key which distorts who's help is where. 
  • Luka can look straight over the top for the lob first.
  • If the lob isn't open he can use either wing for an easier entry pass, and if x3 pinches in to take away the lob you can hit the corner for the catch and shoot 3pt.
