Re: - Off-Ball Defense - "How to Use it Properly?" by Sam Pham (Video)

To be honest, the cpu defenders bite so hard on the hesitation dribble that you can bet that man regularly, then read an react to how the scrub off ball man crashes in on you. Because let's be fair here, most people playing off ball aren't doing it like Sam Pham was, honestly Sam Pham's implementation of off ball defense there just seemed like good defense, especially against the pick and roll. but the pick and roll works wonders against off ball zone scrubs. Just use that hesitation and the pick man and play 2 on 1 basketball as the off ball man sits back and tries to just protect the rim, and jump passing lanes. If your pick man has some range also mix in the fade space the floor. Off ball scrubs usually get frustrated because they can't just sit at the rim when you do this, and the zone isn't set up to get cheap steals.
