This outstanding video takes one of the oldest, and least understood, arts in basketball and displays in-depth coverage of the multiple plays and options that can be run off of ball screens and the pick & roll at any level of play. These drills highlight the perfect moments to take advantage of the defense when they are most vulnerable by creating confusion and forcing mismatches to improve scoring opportunities. Multiple screenplays will force defenses to react into help situations, which will create 3 on 2 and 2 on 1 situations. Coach Braun instructs players through game speed drills of the pick & roll including the down screen, the down series with a ball screen, the ball screen flare screen, screening the screener, and many more. Braun's keys to offense include ball control, taking advantage of mismatches, and keeping defenders on their heels by countering to their defensive schemes, which can all be accomplished using creative, effective ball screens!
