Angle Screen Drill

Instructions

1. 1SCR moves from the upper left to set an angled screen near DEF's position
2. 2BH uses the screen angle and cuts toward the lower right side of the court
3. 3SCR rolls diagonally toward the center, curving toward the goal area
4. 4BH delivers a quick pass to SCR arriving in the central shooting zone
5. 5SCR finishes with a jump shot on goal

Coaching Points

• Set the screen at the angle that forces the defender to go the long way around
• Ball handler cuts to the far side — this maximizes the screen's impact
• Screener's roll direction should open toward the middle of the court
• Quick pass after the cut — the screen only creates a split-second advantage
• Read the defender: if they go under the screen, shoot immediately from the catch

Common Mistakes

• Screen angle is wrong — the screener faces the ball handler instead of the defender
• Ball handler cuts too early before the screen is fully set at the correct angle
• The screener does not hold the screen long enough for the ball handler to clear
• Defender easily fights over the screen because the angle does not create sufficient contact
• Ball handler goes away from the screen instead of using the created gap
