Set screens while having the ball as a passer, Bogut and who else

On the 2016 Warriors Bogut who missed the finals due to injury used to set screens at the 3 point line while he had the ball and then he would make the pass. Bogut would stick his butt out and lean forward thus taking up more space front to back. His hands were strong enough that guards could not knock the ball away and the guards were to busy chasing Curry and Klay to attack bogut. On some plays one of Curry and Klay would come from one direction and cut inside Bogut while the other of Curry and Klay would come from the other direction and cut outside of Bogut. This created chaos in deffensive switches.

Draymond could do what Bogut did but Draymond's screen was not as big as Bogut's screen.

Who else screned while having the ball as a passer? Maybe Wes Unseld. Anybody else?

Normally the screeners are big guys that you don't really want handling the ball.

Zaza was pretty good with this too, introducing the between the legs pass which I don't think I saw Bogut ever pull out

David West too, but I think he was better at finding cutters than the strict handoff

Definitely something Warriors have had a lot of in the Kerr era

Screen hand offs were common back in the 1970s. Wilt Chamberlain was excellent at executing them. Among lesser known choices, Tom Boerwinkle was amazing as well.

I should ask you since you're a real hoops historian

Is Zaza the first player to do the between the legs "handoff" ? Have you seen anything like that in all the footage you've seen?

I remember seeing a clip from 1961 game in which Johnny Red Kerr used that. I'll try to find it.
