Steve Kerr Golden State Warriors Weave Ballscreen by Adam Spinella

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

Steve Kerr Golden State Warriors Weave Ballscreen by Adam Spinella

I’ve never been a huge fan of weave sets because they are essentially false action on the perimeter far away from the basket. However, the Golden State Warriors Weave action features so many players who can handle the ball and either attack the rim or shoot the three that it is difficult to defend. Defenses cannot sit lane protected underneath handoffs to Curry or Thompson since they can shoot the three so effectively. Andre Iguodala is great at driving to the rim for a forward, so getting the ball in his hands with a lane to the rim could be effective. Even power forward Draymond Green can handle the ball a bit.

With so many threats, this Weave Ballscreen is a great action for a team full of shooters and a couple of ball handlers.
