Basketball: Iverson Series

Use the Iverson cut (staggered screens) and options to challenge defenses. 



Basic Iverson cut into wing isolation and possible direct drive.


Iverson cut with diagonal screen instead of 3 clearing through. 


Some teams will defend by dropping the second defender and sending x2 'through' as x5 drops and calls through. Passing followed by a backscreen for the point guard may get a lob or pass to the 'corner 3' if x3 helps aggressively. 

Nothing matters unless we can capitalize by finishing.

Lagniappe:
Location and relocation. Coach Liam Flynn shares an overhead view of how spacing challenges defense who must cover perimeter shooters, contain the ball, and closeout against drive and kick action.
