Period 6 -Basketball

Due Date: Wednesday, December 2nd


In class we have been working on setting screens and discussing reading the defense in our 3 on 3 unit. Please watch the video below and answer the following questions. Each question is worth 2 points. Please make sure to write your name on your Blog.


1. When you set a screen, do you set the screen on a person or an area?

2. What are 3 things the offensive player can do when they are being screened?

3. When should you curl off of a screen?

4. What is the most important thing to do when coming off a screen?

5. How frequently is your team using screens during your game play? Have they been effective for your team?

1. An Area
2. Backdoor, Curl, Bump
3. When the defender follows you
4. Read the defense
5. We don't really use screens much but when we do they are used effectively. If we used screens more often we would do a lot better than we already are.

1) screen an area so that the screen is always in the same place
2)they can go backdoor, curl, or bump
3)when the defender is pressing
4)read the defender
5)not very much, no one has pressed up on us so there hasnt been much need. when we have used them they havent been effective, mainly because if a defender sees us setting a screen they know we are going to shoot, so we are very predictable

1. Area
2. Use the screen to curl, backdoor, and bump
3. When the defender starts to overplay
4. Cut open or go to the basket
5. Pretty often, most of the plays on Varsity use screens to have an open shot on and off the ball. I think they are effective because it slows down the defense's momentum

1. Set screen on an area.
2. The offensive player can go back door, run a curl, or run a bump.
3. Curl should be done when the defender can't get past screener and ends up following the offensive player from behind.
4. Read the defender.
5. We don't screens as much as we can. Screens seem easy to go around, as long as it is not a surprise. If we used more screens, however, our players would get open more and be able to score more points.

-You have to set it in an area
-they can back door, curl , and also bump
- you do it when the defender follows you/ pressing you
- read the defender/defense
- i sometimes set screens and since i am a larger individual they are effective. when my teammates set the such as Arthur they are effective only effective half of the time

1.) In an area.
2.) Curl, bump, and/or backdoor.
3.) When the defender is following you.
4.) Cut & get open.
5.) I don't set screens because it's not very effective for me personally.

1. You have to set the screen in an area.
2. Go backdoor, curl or bump.
3. When your defender starts to overplay you and avoid the screen
4. Get open by seeing after reacting to defense
5. We do not use screens. We just pass. I think they would be effective if we used them because it would be a different game. We might not win as much because some people are not the best at shooting.
