Defending the basketball screen!The key to defending screens is not to let the offensive team set the screen. "Don't get hit on a screen." The defender must be HIGHER than the offensive player. Here x2 is higher or on the top side of 2. Proper defensive positioning by "jumping to the ball," and communication is very important. x4 would yell "screen!", and give x2 a LANE TO GET THROUGH. ![]() |
