#WNBATwitter! We back with Week 3 of WNBA Film Sesh. Last week was week 2, but you know Twitter doesn't have an edit feature. I ain't perfect. Anyways, this week - I'm showing love to our post players in the W! We must protect them at all cost. 🥰

WNBA Film Sesh:

1. Post Play + Passing
2. Off-Ball Screens + Screen Angles
3. Speed + Direction Manipulation
4. Off-ball Movement
5. Two Feet Finishes + End of Penetration Control
1. Post Play + Passing

Great post players all have patience, ability to manipulate ANGLES, and ability to use both hands. The deeper the positioning, the better. Do your work early!!
2. Off-ball Screens

Off-ball screens are a multi-player interaction. While one player has to find a body, it’s important for the other to show patience and wait for screens to be set. ATL Dream has done a great job at integrating their rookie, Rhyne Howard.
3. Speed and Direction Manipulation

As @kimrosamond would always tell me, “JJ, if you can change speeds, you can change the game.”

Players that go one speed, in one direction are easy to guard. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Manipulate your cadence and angles.
4. Off-ball Movement

Some players believe that they have to be a ball-dominant player in order to get “theirs”. You can create gravity and advantages by simply cutting in to space with PACE and taking advantage of sleepy defenders.
5. Two Feet Finishes + End of Penetration Control

A weekly staple because I’m tired of seeing one foot take-offs and jump passes that lead to runout layups going the other way.

Women hoopers need to watch more women hoop. Since I’m making the WNBA a part of my off-szn film practice, I'm starting a weekly thread of my favorite WNBA highlights! I'm focusing on the simple actions that makes WBB so beautiful!
Focal actions may vary from week to week.

Week 3:
- Ball screen reads
-Closeout reads
-2 Feet Finishes + End of Penetration Control
-Finding the One-more Pass
-Early Pitch Pass

1) Ball Screen Reads:

Vandersloot does a great job of being urgent without hurrying. Get your eyes to the rim at the point of the screen. If you can see the rim, you can see the floor! Give the defenders time to make their adjustments as you're making your reads.

I asked multiple coaches what they thought the most underutilized skills were over the eval weekend.
Here are 10 of them!🧵

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
1) 2 Foot Finishes! 👣
Whenever your shot can be blocked or bothered, go off of two feet. 2 feet allow you to power up with verticality and balance. Your 1 foot layup that clangs off the backboard leads to runout layups. 😘
2) Finding the “1 More” Pass or Early Pitch.
Over-penetrating into the paint leads to turnovers. If there are 4 people guarding you, someone is open. Pass the ball. Simple as that.
