Baseline Single or Down Screen - FastModel Sports

For a catch and shoot player it is all about catching the ball in enough space to get his shot off. This play is good because it gives the shooter the option to come off the down screen or baseline screen. Giving the shooter options makes it a lot harder on the defender as well. Shooter needs to set his man up and not be predictable on his cut. Don’t let the defender dictate which screen you go off. Big men must head hunt and help the shooter get open by setting a good screen. This play is from the 2005-2006 Duke season.
1. 1 passes to 3, 4 cuts down to the paint to set a down screen for 2, 5 sets a baseline single screen for 2.
2. 2 cuts to the rim and reads the defense and chooses to go off of 5's baseline single screen or 4's down screen.
Option 1 - 2 sets his defender up towards 5's screen and cuts off 4's down screen 3 passes back to 1. 1 passes to 2 for a three point shot.
Option 2 - 2 sets his defender up and cut's off of 5's baseline single screen. 3 passes to 2 for a three point shot.
