UNC Tarheels Horns Ball Screen
The key to this simple Horns set lies in where you place your personnel. Place your best shooter in the ball-side corner. That’s going to force x2 to stick to the corner. Your stretch 4 must pop to open the lane. Your second-best shooter is in the far corner. On the ball screen, 5 dives hard (UNC scored off this action in the clip below). Shooters are open if the defense helps on 5’s dive to the rim.
