Cutting Review and D-Wade Video

I've discussed cutting in some detail previously. What five components should a young player absolutely understand?

1. Effective cutting begins with reading the defense (part of 'seeing the game') which reflects a common theme. 
2. Take advantage of defenders losing concentration, vision, or discipline. 
3. Cutting is about getting separation with twin concepts of "change of direction and change of pace" and "movement kills defense."
4. Cutting properly demands spacing and timing. 
5. The screener is the second cutter. Screening isn't grunt work; it's opportunity. 

This brief video reviews how Dwayne Wade loses defenders by smart cutting - looking for head turners, back cuts, and curl cuts.
