Description: Ball Screen Rejects

Rejects work well against overly aggressive defenders. This workout goes over options once you reject the screen.

In this finishing series we are attacking across the midline. Start on the left elbow and then finish on the right side of the rim. Your second set should be going the opposite direction.

Start on the left elbow and attack to the right side. The focus here is on finishing with the ball extended away from your frame. This makes it easier to avoid blocked shots.

45° Finishes - Extension Finish

You’re going to take one dribble and two steps. Jump early off of your ball side foot.

45° Finishes - 1st Step Finish

This footwork and finish is perfect for when you are unable to get to the rim due to a help-side defender stepping up.

Make sure you focus on going straight up and straight down to avoid a charge.

45° Finishes - Outside Inside Floater

Stop outside inside before pivoting back towards the middle of the floor. You are likely to have a defender close to your hip, so we are focusing on reaching away to create separation.

45° Finishes - Stride Stop to Extension Finish

Focus on stepping away from the rim to create separation. Focus more on squaring your elbow then squaring your shoulders.

45° Finishing Series

If a defensive player gets overly aggressive in the ball screen, rejecting the screen can be another great way to attack.

The retreat forces a defensive reaction. If they stay, use the screen. If they jump it, reject it.

SL PNR - Reject to Pull Up

After your push cross you want to hesitate on your inside foot while looking back towards the screen.

Your eyes and your shoulder so the direction of your attack. By looking back to your screener you are trying to hold the big defender.

SL PNR - Reject to Heavy Step

After rejecting the screen the defender guarding the screener is likely to sprint to try to cut you off. Use this move to attack their back hip and get to the rim.
