Fake Diagonal Screen

Fake Diagonal Screen is a baseline out of bounds play that fakes a screen to free up multiple options for easy short shots.

Breakdown

  • 5 fakes a diagonal upscreen for 2, then quickly drops to the hoop for the first scoring option.
  • 4 sets the actual screen for 2, who pops toward the corner.
  • 4 rolls to the hoop after setting the screen, creating another scoring option.

Coaching Tip

5 must sell the screen. If the defense bites, the reversal to the hoop will be wide open for an easy bucket.
