There will be a gradual build up to hard trapping with on ball screens above the foul line. The rotations from the other 3 defenders is key as they expand the team concept defense involved in all that. I hope we begin to see that tonight, but it is a process as you build the defense. The extension of the double teaming ball screens is to hard hedge - especially when the offense is trying to pick and roll out of those screens. Your 5s have to be really good at rotating out of that hedge and finding a man/spot to cover. Again, the other 3 guys must all rotate correctly while that hedge is happening. Total team concept.

Unless you've lived it, it's not always obvious to see what is really happening including what all 5 guys need to do every time out of those traps and hedges. And...those rotations will vary depending on where the remaining guys on offense are positioned. It's not rocket science, but there is a lot of learning, repetition, and practice needed to be able to do that instinctually at speed.
