About This Play/Drill

The first video clip is a simple side ball screen with a double screen on the weak side of the floor.  The interesting thing about this action is the spacing UK uses on the weak side of the floor.  The double screen is set just inside of the three-point line which is more commonly seen in NBA sets where defenses have to play tighter to their man due to everyone on the floor being able to make shots.  Kentucky ends up getting a lay-up in the post out of this action as Wisconsin can’t over help with the double screen being right below the 3-point line.  

The second video clip is a ball screen set at the top of the key to an open side of the floor.  If the guard can’t attack the open space he throws back to the popping 4 man who looks for his own shot.  On his catch the 3 man that’s stacked up with the 5 man slams 5’s defender so 4 has a straight line pass to 5 sealing in the lane.  The deep post catch forced Wisconsin to double down and left UK’s guard wide open for a 3-point shot.
