A Guide to the Spain Pick-and-Roll

[SAMPLE EDITORIAL ESSAY] In a Spain action, a third player screens the defender guarding the roller after the initial ball screen. The defense must track the ball, the rolling big, and the back screener without losing sight of the perimeter. Each coverage gives the offense a different read. The action depends on timing more than choreography. If the back screen arrives too early, the defense can switch it cleanly; too late, and the roller may already be covered.
