Developing Positionless Players: The holistic approach looks to work on the whole player from ball handling, passing, shooting, post ups and all other parts that go into a building a complete skillset. Players aren’t separated by position, they work together on the same skills for that day. FMS Blog: Player Development - Training Guards and Posts Together See More

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
