SDSU used this play to get an isolation look at the elbow with the 4 man. The play starts with 2 making the first cut to the opposite corner and 3 stepping out to the right corner. The point guard then makes the entry pass to 4 at the elbow and clears out to the left wing. After 1 clears, 4 looks to drive right to the basket looking for a lay-up or foul. See More

Gonzaga runs this set for a HI PNR for their shooting guard. I like this set and it works because it keeps the defense moving, and has a stretch 4 spread the floor after freezing his man. Kevin Pangos being an elite 3 point threat is on the wing to prevent any weakside help, and having 3 shooters spacing the floor allows the PNR to be effective. See More

Here is a flex option used by Oregon in the first half against Oklahoma State. The Cowboys defended the action well, but it looks like a good set-up for future plays from the Ducks. The play starts in regular flex with a flex-screen and down-screen. Instead of continuous flex, 2 and 4 set a staggered screen for 3 on the weak side and 1 clears out to the corner. This play gives 5 the opportunity to take his man to the basket 1 on 1 or pass to 3 for a 3-point shot. See More
