Over the past few years ball screens have been more and more prevalent in all levels of basketball. The Mens Basketball Team at the University of Florida have many sets that involve the ball screen. These are just a few of them that they have run the past two seasons. Their posts to a great job of reading whether to slip to the basket, pop, roll and seal etc... This season they have really taken advantage of Erik Murphy which would be comparable in the NBA to a Stretch 4 like a Ryan Anderson on the New Orleans Hornets.
The Post to Post option is a great little wrinkle you can incorporate in your ball screen action if you have a young or inexperienced point guard who is being trapped often or against a team that hard hedges on screens. With the post to post screen, the post players defense will have an extremely difficult time sprinting to the top of the floor to show on the ball screen.
