Point Drive

Quick hitter that clears the lane for the PG to drive, with a backside dump-off option if the defense collapses.

Breakdown

4 and 5 cross cut to the backside, pulling their defenders away from the lane.
3 sets a high ball screen for 1.
1 uses the screen to attack the rim with a clear driving lane.

Coaching Tip

If 4’s defender helps on the drive, 1 should look for the quick dump-off to 4 on the backside for an easy finish.
