text:
A screen is a blocking move by an offensive player in which they stand beside or behind a defender in order to free up a teammate to either shoot, pass, or to drive in to score. In basketball and field lacrosse, it is also known as a pick. Screens can be on-ball, or off-ball. The two offensive players involved in setting the screen are known as the screener and the cutter. Successfully "setting a screen" in team sports such as basketball and water polo requires attention to position and timing.
