In the Chicago Bulls bigger lineups they have Mirotic at the 3, Gibson at the 4 & Noah at the 5, this lineup works well because Mirotic can shoot the 3 well and set ballscreens effectively. A set that the Bulls have run throughout the year is having Mirotic set a ballscreen and they turn and sprint off an elevator screen. See More

Vey well thought out play from the Spurs... Having 4 receive back screen from 5 makes it difficult for 4's defender to stunt/hedge as 1 comes off down screen... Especially when Parker (1) is non-shooter. Spurs ran this against the Clippers in Game 2 with minutes remaining in the first half. See More

This play has been a very popular play for the Clippers as of late. A very simple play, 1 must do his best to dribble at x4 and drag him out as far as possible. See More

Portland Trailblazers ran this play in game 2 of the Portland-Memphis series. With Lillard's speed and Portland's execution of spacing and screening, Lillard gets a clear drive to the rim. If Lillard decides to shoot the ball of the high ball screen, Robin Lopez (5) has great rebounding position. See More

With the growing amount of teams using the ball screen in today's game; we decided to implement a couple simple quick ball screen actions that were not apart of our basic ball screen movements. The Ball screen is one of the toughest actions to guard in today's game. We have found it easy to get a get quality look in the lane off our ball screen sets. I discussed in my article published in the Winning Hoops Magazine (Sept./Oct. Edition) -"Using Ball Screens in your Motion Offense" that we generally use our ball screen actions after we get the defense moving. See More

In this play, Rose starts with the ball and passes to the trail man then cuts to the opposite corner. The ball is moved to the right wing as 4 screens away for 2.
