Reads For the Dribbler to Score: 1. Turn the Corner (1. Runner, Floater, Finish at the Rim, Pullup) 2. Reject (don’t use the screen: see defender’s head turn or they try to force down)

• Nash Dribble Jab • Killer Crossover • Inside Out Dribble • Double Cross

3. Split: if there is a gap between the screener and shower use a crossover to get through the gap.

4. Pocket Shot: defender goes under the screen. stop behind the screener for the 3

5. 2 Dribble Clear 6. Bounce Off (Defense Shows Hard and you bounce off/back then attack) 7. Steal the Spot/Veer: (Keep your defender on your hip as you come off the

screen; curl cut but for a ball screen) This is a NBA move when the screener’s defender does not show or your are “forced down” on a sideline pick and roll.

8. Rescreen: Go hard 2 dribbles off the ball screen and then get a “rescreen” from the big

9. Go 2 dribbles hard off the screen or bounce off 2 dribbles – make an inside out dribble as the big is going to recover.

10. Hard Stop and Go: Go hard to the shower if they hard hedge, keep your dribble alive and defender on your hip. As soon as the shower leaves to recover drive the ball straight down the lane line and keep your defender on your hip

11. Inside Out: Inside out on the shower and go around 12. Inside Out – Cross: Inside Out – Cross and split the screen
