Screening can create separation even for less athletic players. Urgent cutting is a vital part of staggered screening. Often actions fail because of lack of suddenness. Remind players to take ownership of cutting.
Iverson actions are a classic staggered screening option.
Doug Brotherton shared a clear and curl Iverson set.
Loop actions are associated with the Spurs, but Chuck Daly ran them long ago with the Pistons.
The Celtics ran this action with Loop options for the point guard or for Jaylen Brown in screen-the-screener action.
SLOB Stagger.
The inbounder gets a return handoff and a screen while the 5 comes off the stagger for a potential layup.
BOB triple stagger slip.
The Celtics ran this triple staggered screen with an option for a Horford dunk.

Great players make great plays...lest we forget. Lillard's explosive cut sets up his brilliant shotmaking.
