Play is initiated with a dummy ball screen by the 1 and 5. As the ball screen takes place the 2 player immediately down screens for the 4 player. 1 comes off the ball screen and pitches ahead to the 4. After setting the ball screen, 5 sprints to set a fake down screen for 3 and will receive a "rip" screen from the 2 for a lay-up. See More

Creative ball screen set ran by the Boston Celtics this season. Boston used this action to flow into an elbow ball screen for a guard who had a stretch 4 replacing behind the ball screen. Having the center come off a zipper down screen is a creative design on an already tough action to guard. See More

SLOB set ran by the U20 Serbian team in the Eurobasket Championships in 2015. Timing of the down screen set by 4 should be practiced for timing purposes. 4 should set down screen for 2 once 1 starts the cut up to 5 to receive the stationary DHO in the slot. The false action in this set creates a solid opportunity out of the spread pick and roll. The ball coverage of the ball screen (x2) will be weak and late due to the down screen set by 4 and also with the DHO by 1. As a result, this will put extra pressure on the defending big involved on the ball screen (x5) and should create an advantage out of the spread pick and roll. See More

Brad Stevens uses Isaiah Thomas as a screener frequently because of the extra attention the Celtics' top scorer receives. A common screen-the-screener action is the Flex set up, where Thomas would come off a down screen after setting the Flex. Instead, he sets a back screen here after the flex, with the rim unguarded on the flex overload for an easy alley oop opportunity. See More

Variation of the Spurs iconic "motion weak" demonstrated by the USA Women's National Team in their quarterfinal win over Japan in the 2016 Rio Olympics. Instead of the signature cross screen/down screen sequence, the screen sets a back screen after the cross screen. Set a good screen, cause help, then separate from th screen for a three-point opportunity. See More

Texas A&M used this play to get an open look for a shot on a weak side fill. The initial pin down gets them into a horns set and then the guard curls around the down screen to the opposite wing for a shot. They didn't get a shot and ended up turning it over, but a good action nonetheless. See More

This play is similar to the pin down play, but the cutter cuts back off of a staggered screen to the corner. The first screener then uses a down screen at the elbow for a shot. See More

This a nice play to get a 2 man action on one side with all 3 other defenders occupied on the weakside. Michigan gets the post man open with a quick down screen and then the big runs a handoff on one side with a stagger happening on the other. See More

Location: 10 Tempo: 4 This shooting drill replicates wing shooting out of a floppy set. With a coach or passer at the top of the key, players cut hard to the wing as if coming off a down screen to catch and shoot for 3. See More
