What it is
- Sealing the Defender and Rebounding Position is an individual basketball skill involving after rolling, the screener must maintain a seal on the defending big, keeping them away.
- This seal is critical for both finishing the roll and securing rebounding position if the shot misses.
- A screener who loses the seal often allows the defender to help on the handler's drive or to interfere with the roll man's finish.
Why it matters
- A screener who loses the seal often allows the defender to help on the handler's drive or to interfere with the roll man's finish.
- Rebounding position is equally important; after a shot goes up, the screener's seal often translates into rebounding position automatically because they're between the defender and the basket.
How it works
- This seal is critical for both finishing the roll and securing rebounding position if the shot misses.
- Good seals involve: keeping the body between the defender and the basket, using lower body and core strength to prevent the defender from pushing through, and adjusting footwork as the defender tries to reposition.
