Ball Screen Defender Goes Under Shot Basketball Drill

Ball Screen Defender Goes Under Shot Basketball Drill

 

If the on-ball defender goes under the ball screen, it means one of three things. They are either playing the ball handler as a non-shooter, are a lazy defender, or just got caught by a good screen. If you allow the defender to keep going under the screen without making him/her pay, they will keep doing it. If you don’t make them pay for going under, then your ball screen basically becomes a non-factor.

The ball screen defender goes under basketball drill will work on stopping behind the screen and shooting a 3 pointer. This will most likely be an uncontested 3 point shot, but it is a different feel than a catch and shoot shot, so you need to practice this specific type of basketball shot. This move is one of the basketball fundamentals of using a ball screen and is essential for any basketball player that uses ball screens.
