The blue player in the key will come and set a screen for the perimiter blue. Dribbling the ball past the screen and teamate. The screener pivots around and heads to the basket waitin for a pass inside. The dribbler fakes a lay-up and instead passes it to the teammate who will then take the shot.
Explode towards the position of the screen to get an extra step or two on their opponent. Set the screen up by closing the gap and being to the opponent as tight as possible. Make your defender fall for the switch which leaves the screener with a small window of opportunity to get in behind the defence and an easy uncontested lay-up. Pivot on weaker foot lead with strongest. The screener keeps eyes on ball waiting for the pass. Bounce pass is the most effective, Catch and 1 step lay-up at the side of the basket
