PLAY #37: "SHUFFLE STAGGER"

3 SECONDS TO WIN

PLAY INTENT

This quick-hitting SLOB utilizes a shuffle screen to draw the defense’s eyes toward the rim before immediately transitioning into a  stagger screen at the top of the key.

FINAL THOUGHT

Changing the direction of a screen is incredibly disruptive. By having #1 set the shuffle) and then immediately flip to set an uphill screen (the stagger), the defense’s processing speed is completely shattered. They are preparing for a layup right as you are elevating for a three.
