Iverson cut examples
STEP 1
Initial positions are set so the team can move in a coordinated way and create space.
Prior to initial action, 1 is at the top, 2 is near the right side low post block, 3 is near the left side wing, 4 is at the high post, and 5 is near the left side low post block.
To begin, 3 executes the Iverson cut to the right side wing via the high post screen set by 4.
As that happens, 5 cuts across the lane to the right side low post area via the cross screen set by 2.
Immediately following that, 3 receives the ball near the right side wing while 2 and 4 cut out towards the left side corner and left side wing respectively.
After that, 3 could take the three-point shot if that is open or alternatively, 5 could receive the ball from 3 and attempt to score via a low post move.
STEP 2
Prior to initial action, 1 is at the top, 2 is near the right side low post block, 3 is near the left side wing, 4 is at the high post, and 5 is near the left side low post block.
To begin, 3 executes the Iverson cut to the right side wing via the high post screen set by 4.
As that happens, 5 cuts across the lane to the right side low post area via the cross screen set by 2.
Immediately following that, 3 receives the ball near the right side wing while 2 and 4 cut out towards the left side corner and left side wing respectively.
After that, 3 could take the three-point shot if that is open or alternatively, 5 could receive the ball from 3 and attempt to score via a low post move.
Next, if 3 did not take the jump shot or 3 did not make the post entry pass, then 3 could dribble towards the baseline via the step-up screen set by 5.
Following that, 5 could short roll towards the lane area in front of the basket.
From that point, 3 could attempt to score at the rim or as another option, 5 could receive the ball and score around the rim as well.
In addition to those scoring possibilities, 2 or 4 on the weak side could receive the ball via a drift pass from 3, which could then lead to potential jump shot opportunities.
STEP 3
