You can use a set play like this at any point in the game, but it’s best to use it when you really need a quick basket. A lay-up by the 1 is the ideal shot from this play.

This play was used by the my high school in crunch-time situations. This play is designed for the point guard to get a lay-up, and I was fortunate enough to be the point guard and win a game on a last second shot with this play. If executed properly, the defense can become extremely confused.

STEP 1

1 – Shooter – Begins at the top of the key.
2 – Ball Handler/Passer – located in the corner.
3 – Screener – Located in the opposite corner of 2.
4 – Screener – Located on the wing.
5 – Cutter – located on the wing opposite 4.

STEP 2

1. 5 cuts through the lane – 2 fills his spot on the wing

STEP 3

2. 1 passes to 2 and follows his pass to set a screen for 2.
3. 4 comes and sets a staggered screen that will be used by 2.
4. 3 gets himself into position to set a back screen for 1.

STEP 4

5. 2 dribbles off the two screens and passes to 5 who has rotated to the wing from the corner.
6. 3 sets the back screen for 1, who comes off the screen to the low block.
7. 5 looks inside to player 1 who should be wide open for a layup.
