PLAY DESCRIPTION

Quick Overview
35 Logo creates a deep mid-post ball screen — closer to the rim than standard pick-and-rolls — with the floor cleared out for maximum space. The action disguises itself with pin downs and quick ball movement before isolating 3 and 5 in a two-man game.

Why It Works
By running the ball screen so close to the basket, the defense has little time to recover or help. The empty-side spacing prevents weak-side defenders from crowding the action, making the pocket pass or lob to 5 nearly automatic.

Key Teaching Points

  • 3 must screen with purpose, then re-engage his defender to set up the ball screen.

  • 4 must sprint into the elbow catch and deliver a clean post entry to 3.

  • 5 must explode into the logo ball screen after using 4’s pin down.

  • Spacing is critical: 1 must clear to the weak corner, and 2 must lift to keep balance.

  • 3 should look first for 5 on the roll, then attack downhill if the defense stays home.

PRIMARY ACTIONS

  • Alignment: 1 top, 3 right elbow, 5 left elbow, 4 right low block, 2 left corner.

  • 3 sets a pin down for 4, who cuts into the right elbow for a pass from 1.

  • 1 clears to the left corner; 2 lifts to the left slot.

  • After screening, 3 re-engages and cuts into the mid-post for a post entry from 4.

  • 4 then sets a pin down for 5, who sprints into a logo ball screen for 3.

  • 4 clears out to the opposite short corner.

  • Reads: 3–5 ball screen action — pocket pass or lob to 5, or 3 attacking downhill.
