Ways to get the ball screener to "arrive alone" when setting the ball screen.
Early Offense
If the ball gets pitched ahead of the 1st trailer in transition, he/she can run hard into the side ball screen
Hard Run Out
Simply out run your man to the ball screen
Cross Screen
Set a cross screen to free the ball screener and tie up the ball screener's defender
Force The Hedge
Use the eventual ball screener to set a back screen, like in this UCLA action, to force X5 to hedge or show for a step or two.
5 then sprints into the ball screen
Flex (STS) Action
This combines two concepts - force X5 to hedge on the flex cut then screen for the eventual ball screener
Wide Pindown
Set a wide down screen for the eventual screener and sprint into the ball screen
