Overview of the Play:
This play involves an up-screen for the guard leading to an open key. This can often lead to a simple pass inside and easy layup. If that option isn’t available, the post player sets a screen on the wing.
Key Personnel:
- 5 should be a post player or the best screener on the team.
- 2 should be the player you want dribbling in a pick-and-roll.
- 1 should have the ability to finish at the rim with pressure.
Coaching Points:
- It’s crucial that 5 ‘hunts’ for the 1’s defender and then sets a strong screen if there’s going to be a chance for the pass inside and open layup.
- 1 can cut ball-side or weak-side of the screen and should direct themselves towards the ball-side block looking to receive the basketball.
- 2 must be able to make smart decisions out of the wing spot.
STEP 1
The play begins in a 4-out 1-in formation with the 4 perimeter players above or in-line with the free-throw line.
STEP 2
1. The play starts with the point guard (1) making the pass to 2 on the wing.
STEP 3
5. 5 will then immediately set an on-ball screen for 2 on the wing.
6. 2 attacks the rim off 5’s screen as 5 rolls to the rim looking to create an opportunity to score.
