V-Cut Jab Read

Demonstrates using a V-cut to create space, catching and squaring up immediately, then using a jab step to read the defender before deciding to attack the basket or shoot.

Key points

  • Use a V-cut to bring the defender up, get your spot, and create space.
  • Catch and square up right away to establish cushion and separation.
  • Read the court behind the defender because he cannot see his own help.
  • Jab step to see if the defender makes a mistake.
  • Attack the basket if the defender opens up with no help behind him, or raise up and shoot if help is behind.
