Staggered Screen Shooting

Directions:

1. Players are divided in two lines - one in the corner and the other on the opposite wing

2. The corner line is the shooting line and the wing line is the passing line (if you don't have enough players, a coach can serve as the permanent passer)

3. The corner line passes the ball to the wing

4. After the pass, the corner line player cuts to the cones, simulating a double staggered screen

5. The passer should deliver the ball to the cutter

6. After the cutter receives the pass, they should work on a designated finish

7. Types of finishes include:

• Catch and shoot, one dribble pull-up, floater, step back, step back counter, regular lay-up, power lay-up, shot fake finish, inside hand finish, awkward finish, reverse lay-up, pull-back attack, up and under, etc.

Other Teaching Points:

• Players must make game speed cuts to get game-like shots

• Cutters should "touch the screen" before using it

• Communication is key - all actions need to be verbalized

• You can alter the location of the cones to simulate a blast screen as shown in the second diagram
