Practice reading the defense on a pick and roll. (video option)
Set up cones on the sideline about 6 feet from the sideline. Set a screener and a screen defender at the elbow. The guard uses a power dribble position to move her defender down the sideline. Once at 90° or below to the elbow the guard attacks, using the screen in a pick and roll situation. The ball handler reads the defenders.
Ø If the screen defender stays behind the screener drive past the pick (screener), turn and score.
Ø If the screen defender hedges use step back footwork – engage the defender and look for the roll.
Ø If the screen defender hedges wide split the gap.
Ø If the screen defender hedges early reverse dribble, reject the screen and attack the basket.
Ø If the defender fights over the top of the pick use a hip swivel and attack the pick again.
