Trimming The Hedge – Ball Screens Part 1 of 4

If you use the ball screen, you'll more than likely face many types of defense;

1. The Hedge
2. The Trap
3. The Switch
4. The Duck behind

On the Hedge you should go hard toward the hedging defender’s outside shoulder. He must consider you a threat to get to the cup. Make your dribble long and low, and get to the rack.

Watch Sean Patrick (blue jersey #7) do exactly that.
