PLAY #39: "DOUBLE STAGGER"

3 SECONDS TO WIN

PLAY INTENT

Utilized by Casademont Zaragoza in the Spanish ACB League, this highly effective SLOB uses consecutive stagger screens to visually overwhelm the defense. Overload the defense with a triple-stagger decoy to free the shooter (#2) on a hidden secondary double-stagger.

FINAL THOUGHT

Spanish ACB playbooks are famous for turning screeners into shooters. By hiding your primary target (#2) as the middle piece of a decoy triple-stagger, the defense instinctively assumes he is just a facilitator. By the time they realize he is the actual threat, he is already behind a wall of teammates, elevating for the win.
