This play comes straight from the Mike D’Antoni playbook, and sets up exactly like the basic Slice action that Doc Rivers used in Boston. While the option is there to bring any great post up player to the block, as D’Antoni often did with Carmelo Anthony in New York, this is really just a Spread High P/R in disguise. This is a money play for Chris Paul. See More

This Slice option for the Celtics was a quick hitter that could be run at any time in early offense and didn’t need to be a called set. It is a quick reversal to the 3, into a Side P/R. With Pierce at the 3, there are a number of threats here that are difficult to guard. When KG is at the 4, the Pick and Pop is difficult to guard. If x2 pulls in to defend against the duck-in from 5, Ray Allen is sitting in the corner waiting to strike. See More

Klay Thompson and Steph Curry running a Pick & Roll together seems unfair. But it is precisely what Steve Kerr loves to do in this creative set out of a zipper cut. This set can have Klay come off looking for a shot off the pindown, setting a ballscreen or slipping the ballscreen for a 3 and Curry attacks out of all of it. See More

Having a stretch 4 and an athlete combination like the Pelicans have in Anthony Davis and Ryan Anderson is convenient, and this set is designed to take advantage of that. See More

The play starts with 3 guards out and the 2 posts inside on the blocks. 2 cuts down towards the low post then moves up the lane line to get the ball from 1. 3 clears to the opposite corner clearing space for a back-cut from 1. 5 sets the back-screen for 1 who looks to get the lob pass from 2. If the lob isn't open, 5 steps over to set a ball-screen at the top of the key. 2 attacks left to right with roll/replace action from 5 and 4. See More

In this play, Tyus Jones attacks from left to right off of a high ball-screen with an overload on the left side of the floor. The open space puts even more pressure on Kaminsky to stop the penetration and guard the roll. Jones came off of the ball-screen as if he was going to attack the rim, but instead pulled up at the elbow using Koenig's momentum against him. See More

The Dallas Mavericks ran this play to begin their game against the Phoenix Suns... With most teams going under on pick and roll against Rajon Rondo, they screen at the elbow. Believe it or not, Phoenix went under on the elbow screen... Tyson Chandler re-screened and Rondo hit a floater in the paint. See More

With 1:36 left in the game vs. Wisconsin, Tyus Jones hit a huge 3-point shot to put the Blue Devils up 66-58. The play started with Jones dribbling to the left as Winslow looped around to set up for a ball-screen. Jones waved off Winslow sending him out to the wing. Okafor sprints up to set a ball-screen for Jones. Koenig goes over the top of the screen and Kaminksy is moving backwards as Okafor rolls leaving just enough room for Jones to pull up for a 3-point shot. See More

Here is a nice little ATO set that can be used in late game situations or when you need a basket. Starting in a 1-4 High alignment can allow for the defense to be vulerable to the back door cut. Nonetheless the ball screen actions will draw a lot of attention and allow for the three on the wing or the reversal and throw inside. See More

Xavier runs a nice Horns Set with weakside action to occupy the defense to get a Wing PNR setup. The look to the flare action is key, and then turning to execute a DHO and Pick & Roll. See More

Another excellent play from the Wichita State playbook, this coming late in the 2nd half against Notre Dame. It's a double high ballscreen, with 5 setting first and a shooting 3 setting the second screen. In defending this play, because x3 stays attached to his man, x5 has to stop penetration and x2 has to pull in to bump 5 on the roll. This leaves the 2 open in the corner for a throwback 3, which was no problem for a talented PG like VanVleet to find. See More
