Middle Ram

The Shockers run this quick action to get a high ball screen set and for the point guard to attack the rim. 3 sets a down screen for 4 who sprints up into a ball screen for 1 to dribble left. With all of the space up top, 1 can maneuver his way into the lane for a layup.

Slot to Step Up Ball Screen

Wichita State sets a slot ball screen for the guard to attack middle, but if nothing is there the ball is swung to the right wing. Once the player has it on the right wing, a step up, or Knicks, ball screen is set for the ballhandler to drive baseline. Combining these actions can make it difficult for teams to defend ball screens.
