Nothing wrong with the screen. It isn't a blind screen so he doesn't have to give space. Even if he had to give space, the white team player takes several steps before the contact.

The mechanics from this crew are ridiculous though. Every call is oversold- even a timeout

The reason I have it as an illegal screen, in part, is NFHS 4-40-2c (The screener must be stationary, except when both are moving in the same path and the same direction). The screener wasn't stationary until his left foot hit the ground right before contact. At that moment, White #5 was in mid-stride so there was no way for him to stop and/or change direction.

But again, that's just me thinking out loud.

I agree and if you can stop the video at :16, the foot of the screener is well-beyond the frame of #34's body.
