UCLA Cut - Basic High Post Example

To start, 2 receives the ball from 1, and then 5 receives the ball from 2.

Next, 4 cuts backdoor toward the basket and could receive the ball from 5. If 4 is not open, then 4 continues the cut toward the left low post block.

After that, 3 cuts to the basket through the back screen set by 4, receives the ball from 5, and could score at the basket.

If 3 is not open, then 3 could continue the cut toward the right corner. Additionally, 4 could fill the left wing after setting the screen.

Next, 2 cuts to the basket, receives the pass from 5, and then scores at the basket. If 2 is not open to receive the pass, then 1 cuts to the wing via the screen set by 4, receives the ball from 5, and takes the open jump shot.

Additionally, as an alternative option, 3 could receive the ball from 5 for another jump shot option if 3’s defender decides to help on 1 when 2 cuts to the basket.
