Baseline play for our strongest guard to receive alone under the rim.
Our strongest and biggest wing positions himself at the elbow on the ball side. The point guard positions at the opposite elbow. Both interiors set at the low posts with the goal of spacing out. The ball-side wing screens the point guard to free him to the opposite 45°.

The first pass the ball handler should look for is to the first screener, who will cut to the basket after setting a solid screen. If this pass is not possible, the option is a pass to our point guard at the 45°. If that pass is also not possible, the interior on the same side should move to the corner to receive and deliver the ball to the point guard.
STEP 2
The first pass the ball handler should look for is to the first screener, who will cut to the basket after setting a solid screen. If this pass is not possible, the option is a pass to our point guard at the 45°. If that pass is also not possible, the interior on the same side should move to the corner to receive and deliver the ball to the point guard.
Once our point guard receives the ball, the opposite side interior (always the pivot) sets a direct screen for him towards the center. 4 will open to the corner and 3 moves to the low post to set an indirect screen, freeing the ball handler to the opposite 45°. Afterwards, 3 opens to the corner.
STEP 3
Once our point guard receives the ball, the opposite side interior (always the pivot) sets a direct screen for him towards the center. 4 will open to the corner and 3 moves to the low post to set an indirect screen, freeing the ball handler to the opposite 45°. Afterwards, 3 opens to the corner.
Once the point guard has used the direct screen with the pivot, we have the option to finish either with the point guard's penetration or the pivot's roll. If not possible, we could pass to 4 in the corner or reverse to the other 45°, starting our "TRANSITION".
STEP 4
Once the point guard has used the direct screen with the pivot, we have the option to finish either with the point guard's penetration or the pivot's roll. If not possible, we could pass to 4 in the corner or reverse to the other 45°, starting our "TRANSITION".
