A Double Drag Screen, often simply called a "Double Drag," is an effective offensive action in basketball that involves two screeners setting consecutive drag screens for a ball handler, typically initiated in early offense or transition. Unlike a single Drag Screen, which uses one trailing screener, the Double Drag brings a second screener immediately behind or slightly to the side of the first, creating a staggered effect. This consecutive screening action aims to maximize offensive advantage by forcing multiple, rapid decisions from the defense.
