Utah Jazz - PNP Stagger Split

Matt Wheeler 10/23/2017

The Utah Jazz ran this play to get Gordon Hayward the ball off a down screen where he can create a shot for himself or his teammates. The play starts with a pick and pop with 1 and 4. This gives the Jazz good spacing and gets the ball in a position where 4 can make the pass off of the stagger split action. 5 & 2 set a stagger screen for 3 on the weak side. 3 splits the screen by curling around 2 and cutting to the basket. 2 then cuts off the screen from 5 to receive the pass from 4.

Basketball Play - Stagger Split Action

Stagger Split Action

Matt Wheeler 10/23/2017

In the stagger split action, the player positions do not matter as much as putting the player with the right skills set in those positions. 1 must be a shooter or playmaker. He will most likely get the ball to create a shot for himself or others. 2 needs to be a good passer. He has to make the read and deliver the ball to the correct person. 3 has to be an offensive threat, which forces the defense to have to provide help as he cuts to the basket. 4 is where you want your best screener to be. He has to get 1 open on the down screen. 5 needs to be put in a position where he creates good spacing for your team. FMS Blog: Stagger Split Action Breakdown See More

Basketball Play - Chicago Bulls - Elbow DHO Elevator

Chicago Bulls - Elbow DHO Elevator

Matt Wheeler 11/01/2017

The Chicago Bulls summer league team used multiple actions to set up the elevator screen. Though only 2's defender had to defend the elevator screen, 4 & 5's defenders had to guard additional screening action right before the elevator screen (a stagger dribble handoff for 3). The multiple screening action makes it more difficult for them to provide help on the elevator screen. Blog Post: Offensive Actions Breakdown - Elevator Screens See More

Basketball Play - Elevator Screen Action

Elevator Screen Action

Matt Wheeler 11/02/2017

Just like in other actions, the positions don't matter as much as putting players with the right skill set in those positions. Most of the time the 1, 2, and 3 positions become interchangeable with the 4 & 5 usually setting the elevator screen. The elevator action happens when a player cuts between two screeners. Once they get through, the screeners close together (like elevator doors) to form a wall where the defender can't get through, which frees them for a shot. 1 must be a good passer to deliver the ball to the shooter. 2 needs to be a good shooter - this action should get them open for a shot. 3 can set additional screens, create misdirection or provide spacing. 4 & 5 are your screeners, typically they are your bigger players, and will close the door on the screen after 2 cuts through Blog Post: Offensive Action Breakdown - Elevator Screens See More
