Snake Dribble Against Drop Coverage

The Suns, both Chris Paul and Devin Booker, have made a living all series with the snake dribble against the drop coverage by Brook Lopez. The goal of the drop is to force a contested two. The on the ball defender pushes up on the ball, forcing to the screen and chases over the top. The ball handler uses the screen and snakes back to middle of the floor, pushing the ball from their outside hand to their inside hand to trigger the snake back. This forces the chasing defender to have a longer distance to cover and encourages the drop defender to leave the paint to contest.
