About This Play/Drill

Here is a play from the Houston Rockets that they use to get an open look in the post or short corner. The play starts with players 1-3 on the perimeter and 4 at the top of the key. 4 moves towards 1 to set a ball-screen. The purpose of the ball-screen in this play is to force 5's defender (X5) into help position on penetration. Once the point guard reads that X5 is helping over, he can pitch the ball out to 2 on the wing and 2 looks inside to 5 posting up. Once 5 has the ball, he has a choice to take his man middle or drive baseline. With either option, the rest of the players on the floor know exactly where to cut depending on which direction 5 drives.

    If 5 isn't open in the post, 5 steps out to the short corner.

  • 5 faces up and looks for the shot.

     

    If he doesn't have a shot, 5 looks to dribble baseline for the score.

     

    5 can also pass out to 3 in the corner or 4 on the wing.

  • Another option for 5 is to dribble toward the mid-post and spin towards the basket.

     

    As 5 moves toward the mid-post, 4 cuts to the basket.
