Like all offenses, ball screen continuity has both advantages and disadvantages. Knowing both is critical before implementing with your team.

Perhaps the biggest advantage to running ball screen continuity, or really any continuity offense for that matter, is that it can be easily implemented and learned since the offense itself is a pattern.

Another advantage to this offense is the fact it gets the ball moving from side-to-side and constantly shifts the defense. In addition to the ball movement, continuity ball screen also gets every single player on the floor involved—the three ball handlers alternate attacking off of wing ball screens, and the two screeners alternate setting ball screens and rolling.

As we discussed above, this offense also utilizes wing ball screens with an empty strong side corner. This means there is no defender to “tag” or help on the screener as he rolls to the rim. This forces the two defenders defending the ball screen to be on the same page with their communication and coverage or risk giving up easy finishes at the rim.

This offense also puts an extreme amount of pressure on the rim between the ball handler attacking off the ball screen and the screener rolling to the rim. This pressure will often collapse the defense and lead to a high number of open kick out threes.

The final advantage worth noting with the continuity ball screen offense is the fact that this offense allows you to play two post players at a time. In today’s modern game of pace & space, it is becoming harder and harder to play multiple bigs together. However, since the continuity ball screen utilizes two screeners, you can seamlessly play two bigs at a time without issue on the offensive end.
