Ghost
The team attacks in a "2-2" formation.
One of the players makes the "ghost" movement.
The player doing it does not have the ball but performs the play as if they did, and their defender follows them.
This drill is especially effective in youth games to encourage agility and deception with defenders.
STEP 1
The play begins in a 4-out 1-in formation with the 4 perimeter players above or in-line with the free-throw line.
STEP 2
1. The play starts with the point guard (1) making the pass to 2 on the wing.
STEP 3
5. 5 will then immediately set an on-ball screen for 2 on the wing.
6. 2 attacks the rim off 5’s screen as 5 rolls to the rim looking to create an opportunity to score.
