Wallace State: 2-3 Zone Ball Screen Baseline Runner Basketball Play

A lot of teams don’t maximize the ability to run ball screens against a zone defense, but there is a lot of value in being able to ball screen the top of the zone. This Wallace State ball screen baseline runner play uses a ball screen against one of the top defenders, and then sends a runner on the baseline to the corner. The idea is to make one player have to try and guard two and hopefully end up with a quality shot from that situation. Great zone offenses don’t just pass the basketball around the zone, but they look to get penetration, player movement, and ball movement.
