jordan ott and the phoenix suns’ peel switch effectiveness
“Peel switches,” which can often blend with a “veer” or “veerback switch” when they take place around the rim, often are impactful, but with a caveat.
If a defense sets the scene well and gets into their process impactfully, then controls the pace at which things develop in a tried and true way, the peel switch can be something that puts a wrench in an offense as they get caught in the defense’s web.
Jordan Ott as well as Collin Gillespie spoke in detail about just how effective these can be, when presented appropriately, a few months back.
Stephen PridGeon-Garner is here to speak in detail to their process, and how this particular switch they’re able to flip, when teams get caught in their defensive web, is a flow stopper. Dive into the details of their defensive process as well as peel switches, in this Study.
