What is a smart set? (And for that matter what’s a double-screener”?)
A “smart set” isn’t really a thing per se — a “set” is a designed basketball play. I was just commenting that it was an intelligent one (some are better than others!)
I called Humphries a double-screener because in the set, Humphries set a screen for Deron Williams (who was cutting towards the basket), then turned to set a screen for Gerald Wallace, thus setting two screens.
I’ll have some video of this play up on the site soonish.
