- You want a corner three out of a side ball screen.
Coaching points

- The hammer screener screens the shooter's defender, not the area.
- The skip pass is thrown on the drive's last step, before the help arrives.
Counters
- Defense: Low man stays home
- Answer: Dump the drive to the dunker spot instead of skipping.
- Defense: Shooter's defender goes under the hammer
