The ball screen may be the most talked about aspect of the Detroit Pistons offense under head coach Dwane Casey this season and last. This is largely due to the personnel that was selected with the Pistons top pick in the last 2 draft classes. Killian Hayes came into the NBA with the reputation as being best utilized in ball screens and any situation where the ball is in Cade Cunningham’s hand is something fans want to see more of.
For the purpose of this breakdown I will not be using synergy numbers and I will NOT be looking into “ghost” or “slip” screens.
