Why setting screens is so important

This is one of the things I think makes Golden State's offense so potent, notice that the player setting the screen is Klay Thompson, the SG, and I'm thinking, if setting screens makes an offense run so much better, why wouldn't even the guards be setting screens?

 

Maybe if you didn't spend so much time worrying about scrubs and 15th players, you would see all of our players setting screens all the time. CJ literally set an on ball screen for Dame last night.

Watch the game (look away from the ball) then post.

 

There good screens and there guys that goes through the motion setting them. Good screens allow other players to get open or least get step on the other defend that will to get better look at the basket while shooting.

 

I, for one, am vehemently opposed to our players setting screens. Good thread, btw.

 

Most screen setter can be found in the Printing industry....

 

Screens are waaaaayyyy over rated

 

because they think dribbling is more fun!

 

What do screen doors have to do with basketball...?

 

Waiting for the "Why scoring points is so important". You should make this a series... The next one could be "Why defending is so important".
