"Slingshot" is a ball screen concept to take advantage of switching defenses when a big gets matched up with a guard. After the switch, the ball handler retreats to create space between the defender then attack down hill. If the defender backs up, then the ball handler shoots the ball. If the defender steps up, then the ball handler attacks the basket. Commonly used by the Indiana Pacers with Victor Oladipo to take advantage of his downhill speed and outside shooting ability.
