Portland Trail Blazers NBA Summer League
This is a GREAT way to get an easy basket, and could turn
into one of your better back screen plays that we like to use to start the game
off with a lob or an easy basket. You
can also use this play to get your best player a look in an end of
quarter/half/game time situation.
I saw this play while watching the Portland Trail Blazers
play the New York Knicks. Portland ran
this play several times to get shots for guard CJ McCollum and they also ran it
for a lob to athletic guard Will Barton.
What I love about NBA sets, along with them being the best
sets in basketball, is that each play has so many options, and they always have
a setup for the ‘play after the play,’ as I have heard Lawrence Frank call it.
It is important to have built in scoring opportunities or
options for if the play breaks down or doesn’t work. In the NBA, that often means a ball screen
look, and this set has a few different options at different points where the
play might break down.
For youth, junior high, high school coaches, the initial
action of the fade/back screen look might be enough for your guys.
