Stack PnR is evolving in the NBA to attack guard-to-guard switches. When the stack screen defender jumps out to take the ball, the stack screener is slipping to the rim instead of out to the wing - where the on-ball defender would normally filter out to. Creates a longer, unexpected recovery.

Hello. I've decided to be someone who talks to NBA head coaches about basketball. Here's a sneak peek of what's coming. Full episode about random offense (with a bit of breaking...

Hey guys, I talked to Rick Carlisle about the Pacers playing random - drawing influence from jazz - implementing this style in 2025 vs 2011 - why the NBA is running less PnR - do...

Just noticed this unique PnR coverage from Dyson Daniels/Atlanta: Hedge & Under - allows on-ball defender to stay matched up w/ ball-handler (no switch) - contains attacking guards - takes away the short-roll - avoids two on the ball - creates shorter rotation for third defender
One of my favorite genres of NBA coverages is "I watched every time a player did some hyper-specific thing, this is what I learned." I've been working on one of those projects for months. It will release as a video pod tomorrow. About this player, doing this thing. "Drop" by.
Hey guys, like the Pacers, myself & @samsonfolk.bsky.social aren't taking a gap year! - let's mailbag + film - center(s) of decline? - generating paint touches w/o TJM - improvement areas from Benn/Nembhard/Walker - league trends - + 2028 Olympic rosters our approach: youtu.be/cH-W8l0YNbM
Hey guys, myself & @samsonfolk.bsky.social reunited for a 2025-26 Pacers Exit Survey + playoff talk - who improved? - indicators for which players can scale up/down - PG/C hierarchy - are the Pacers still contenders? Do teams get "tricky" in the playoffs? www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqNo...
In case anyone was wondering why the Pacers didn't attack Jokic in PnR more last night, Denver went under A LOT against Nembhard and especially on screens involving Jokic. Nembhard attempted 7 jumpers after two or more dribbles -- the most since Game 4 of the 2024 BOS-IND ECF.
Once heard a coach say that they were willing to give up a few back cuts in exchange for playing higher in the gaps because what they've found is that players don't really like to back cut that much & prefer to C&S or drive with the ball in their hands I think about that a lot
After going over some of Caleb Wilson's limitations, I wrote about what he *can* do on offense -- especially as it pertains to the Pacers. Featured: The speed & separation he generates approaching south-north to break out of hot stove screens for dunks: www.patreon.com/posts/what-c...
The Pacers recorded the most isolations per 48 minutes in the season opener of any game in the Haliburton-era. In a Finals rematch, on Mathurin and Siakam playing best vs best, & how IND erased and embraced certain aspects of Game 4 that were more familiar to OKC 🔗: www.patreon.com/posts/on-pac...
There were 262 players who played at least 1,000 minutes last season. Among them, no one spent a higher percentage of their time playing in the "fast" speed zone (greater than 14 ft/sec) than Ben Sheppard (13.95%). Top candidate to outrun the camera sprinting to the corners:
Hey guys, myself & @samsonfolk.bsky.social reunited to talk all things Pacers offseason + what's trending in basketball - Summer League Recap - the value of cutting in the 2026 NBA - center(s) of attention - who is the Nembhard for Nembhard? - more! lots of goings on: youtu.be/aJq4quP_E4k
