Execution Defines Performance

Young players often lack 'vision' of the game. Coach Daniel provides video breakdown from the LA Lakers' summer league action, instructive for young eyes.




0:32 It's not what you name it. Two-guard front with back screen/shuffle cut.
1:04 Floppy-like action with staggered screens
2:15 After initial screen center on top has opportunity for isolation
3:01 Excessive HOLDING the ball creates nothing
3:32 Two-guard front into HIGH BALLSCREEN
4:40 Horns into simplest option HIGH BALLSCREEN
5:07 Odd screen-and-roll defense leads to paint penetration
5:37 Horns into double staggered screens
5:49 Horns into similar action but morphs into DRIBBLE PITCH and roll (pretty)
6:39 Horns into FLEX action (here the cross screen gets rewarded)
7:41 Pindown screens
8:08 FLOPPY into postup (easy to see how wing screen an option instead)

Watching NBA action (even without the top players), we can envision how to create separation for quality scoring chances.
