Favorite Send to FastDrawIf you have a scoring point guard this is a play to have in your playbook. This play gives your point the freedom to cut to different areas on the floor for an open shot or feed the post. You can use any player at the point to produce a great shot or post shot. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis multi-purpose play can help score points at different times during the game. It can be executed when you need a bucket, at the end of a quarter or half, out of a time out, as a quick hitting secondary play, or at the end of the game. You can move players around and feature any player as the go to guy in this play. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Pistons ran their offense through Greg Monroe early in their December 10th, 2012 game vs. the Philadelphia 76ers. This option included two dribble handoff options for Stuckey and Prince and occurred at the 4:38 mark of the 1st quarter. The Pistons, Greg Monroe, is a versatile 6'11' lefty, who is currently averaging 15.3ppg and 9.1 rpg. See More

Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Los Angeles Lakers have had their ups-and-downs since Mike D'Antoni was named their new head coach, which was expected with Steve Nash being out, but the one consistent theme with the offense so far has been how well Kobe Bryant is working out of the pick-and-roll. Forget scoring, which Bryant is doing at an elite level even in his 17th season, Kobe, whose reputation as a gunner has sullied his beautiful passing ability, is facilitating the offense extremely well in the abscene of Nash. On this play we can see how Kobe makes a great read to find a wide open shooters as well as how much attention Dwight Howard draws onn the pick-and-roll. This is the kind of play that D'Antoni is thinking about when he considers starting Antawn Jamison over Pau Gasol for spacing purposes. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawMike D'Antoni said something very interesting about his up-tempo offensive philosophies. He said that if you have the best team, why not try to give your players the most possessions possible. The theory being that the more times that Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash have to execute their offensive brilliance, the better it will be for his team since the opposition's talent won't be able to match them. If the game slows down, all of the sudden your margin for error shrinks and a handful of mistakes can cost you a game. D'Antoni also said that he expects the Lakers to average around 110-115 points per game, which are numbers that haven't been reached since the Nash/Amare combo in Phoenix was broken up. Those two things tell us that the Lakers will be playing at a very fast pace from now on, and despite the popular belief that their roster is too old to run, a free flowing offense is exactly what a veteran team wants in favor of a methodical offense like Boston runs which requires a lot of physical screening and post-up attempts. And having playmakers like Nash and Kobe together only makes this team more dangerous offensively because of his versatile they are coming off of pick-and-rolls. Nash is perhaps the greatest to ever operate a screen-and-roll and Bryant, because of his propensity to shoot, is a very underrated passer. Throw-in the most skilled big man in the league at power forward in Pau Gasol and the best finisher the league has seen since Shawn Kemp in Dwight Howard and we could have the makings of Showtime 2.0. This play that I have designed would make good use of the cavalcade of skill players that the Lakers have. Because of the up-tempo offense the Lakers will be running, the play starts in semi-transition with Kobe handling the ball at the start. I have inserted Jodie Meeks into the line-up for Metta World Peace to add a true floor spacer. The shots that this set produces are all optimal ones based on these players career hotspots and you can run it several different ways with different players on the floor. It is best with this set up, though, with Kobe initiating the action, Nash bringing a ton of secondary concerns and Howard acting as the league's best roll man and lob catcher. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis play comes from the game between the Maryland Terrapins and the Kentucky Wildcats. This was a set Maryland used early in the game looking to free Dez Wells at the top of the key for a jumper. Easy to set-up and run, a great set for either a post-up 4 man or a strong shooting 3.

Favorite Send to FastDrawA set ran by Zach Spiker at Army out of a free throw break when they can set up running lanes. The set got 2 layups when they ran it in a game. 4 man really has to sell that hes going to get open for the 1 man and then cut hard. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawA handoff followed by a ball screen is basically a double ball screen but it helps to get the player the ball even if they are being denied. Come off the ball screen and look to make a play for your yourself or a teammate. On the handoff dribble right at the wings defender and try to screen him as you hand the ball off. Wing needs to take a good angle to come off the handoff and ball screen, look to turn the corner on the ball screen if you can. This play is from the 2005-2006 Duke season. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawA look in transition when you can set up your break spots usually out of a free throw. In this play, the 3 comes off a stagger and gets a dho. The 1 man has to do a good job of setting a rub screen on 3's defender. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawA good wrinkle with a lot of action. The corner downscreen stretches the defense, and the downscreen for a shooter will occupy backside help. One of the best with this action (ballscreen & downscreen) is Williams College. They really drill this concept and then have certain reads to make out of the next pass. One of their favorite actions is to then have the person who set the ballscreen turn and flare in for the 1. See More
