Goes to show how important spacing and having good shooters is. All these defenses are usually giving up something, if the offense can exploit that it’s tough to stop
Thank you for breaking this down. There are certain people who I have seen make videos screaming about drop coverage but multiple championship teams use it and it clearly works as at least part of a rotation of defensive looks to give the other team.
You can provide all this evidence how to defense has EVOLVED but old head casuals and haters will still say their is no defense being played today 🤦🏽♂️
When we say there is no defense we mean NBA commissioner took tools out of the defensive side of the court to favor offense. It’s pretty obvious players defense, but is really tough or impossible when you have free of movement rule, 3P no touch rule, the almost no physicality tolerance (and yes, physicality is nothing to go with violence), or the permissiveness with stuff that favor offense like ilegal screens or ball carrying.
Great breakdown... But wow. Really highlights how afraid NBA players are of the mid-range. Just because of analytics... A good shot is an open shot. And not taking mid-range makes it easier for defenses to guard. Makes you wonder.
Did he really just say that Malcolm Brogdon isn't much of a 3-point shooting threat? 38.5% is pretty good last time I checked. He was the 8th player in NBA history to record a 50/40/90 season. C'mon now. Maybe he wasn't a threat to shoot in the clip that was used.
he's shooting 29.7% on pull-up threes which is the only thing that matters in this context - as a defense you're fine letting up pull up off the ball screen (you just don't want to give him open catch and shoot looks).
@piano9717 I appreciate the stats and the education. That's definitely info i did not know. I just wish he would've said he's not a threat to shoot pull-up 3s, like you did. So I was kinda right in saying he wasn't a threat to shoot in that situation. Seriously, though, good reply. I appreciate it!
Awesome video! Why would these teams run center field against ball handlers who aren’t bad pull up shooters? 3 examples shown (GV/KL/MC) had good regular season pull up % when I looked. What’s a general shooting threshold to make decisions like these?
In the cases of Vincent & Lowry, the Bucks ran center field against virtually every ball handler, regardless of their pull up 3P%. Just a systematic commitment to the coverage. In the third case, Conley is an elite pull up shooter but on low volume & he excels at hitting Gobert on the roll, who is huge compared to the Thunder's four other defenders. Maybe OKC sees allowing the pull up as their preferred trade off. Love the shooting threshold question. Eager to hear some answers to that.
Teams don't tend to run it a ton on good pull up shooters who have shown they can do it with volume. If you do run it against teams with guys that can pull up, like the Lakers did against the Warriors, you need guys who can fight over screens well and/or draw illegal screen violations. Most teams though don't just run a single scheme every time down the floor, and deep drop is just one that they will throw at the offense.

Through most of this vid ive seen Jarrett Allen do all these coverages at a high level. Definitely a player id want on a championship level team

Hell of a turnaround with your team coach, that’s a huge jump in one year. Definitely worth feeling proud of 💪🏾

@@danielmarbella1197many people still do say that players don’t play defense.
Gotta add “Push / Jam” coverage as well! Great video
great video coach!
Great video!
This is such a cool video. Thanks for breaking these motions down.
Really good
Tagging the roller，when is high man tag，when is low man tag？Wether there are some principles？
#1 best defense- have Wemby in center field

“A good shot is an open shot” is an oversimplification. It depends what the game situation is, who you are, and where the shot is, among other things
