PETE NEWELL ON SCREENING

"Good reflective screens and good footwork are synonymous. To effectively screen, the screener must have a low base with the feet comfortably spaced and balanced so that the screener can turn and become an immediate offensive threat.

It is an axiom of basketball that the better a player screens, the better the chance of a good close shot for the screener."
