How the play works

  1. 11 at the top, 4 and 5 at the elbows, 2 and 3 in the corners.
  2. 21 picks a side; that elbow big steps up and sets the ball screen.
  3. 3The screener rolls hard to the rim; the other big pops to the top for the reversal.
  4. 41 reads the help: hit the roll, pull up, or kick to the corner that the helper left.
  5. 5Walk it 5-on-0, then add defence and play it out.

Coaching points

  • Screener: sprint into it, wide base, roll on contact
  • Ball handler: wait for the screen — shoulder to hip
  • Corners stay deep until the ball comes to them
