Add to My Playbook
How it works
A 4-low floppy set with 2 and 3 exiting to the left off the interior screening action while 4 releases to receive the entry on the right wing. It hunts a clean catch for either perimeter cutter, with 1 relocating after the pass to maintain spacing.
When to use it
Half-court set against man-to-man when you want a floppy action with two perimeter cutters and a wing entry. Needs shooters who can catch off movement.
Personnel
4-low. 2 and 3 start near the lane, 5 on the left side, and 4 on the right block. 2 and 3 are the cutters who exit left. 5 screens for them. 4 sets a screen and then releases to the right wing. 1 is at the top with the ball.
Step by step
Step 1. Diagram only.
Step 2. Diagram only.
Reads
- First look. 2 and 3 exit to the left off 5's interior screen. If a defender is late, that is a clean catch.
- Entry. 4 steps out to the right wing after his screen and 1 passes to him.
- After the pass. 1 relocates to the left side to keep the floor spaced while 4 looks to attack.
Counter
If neither cutter is open and the pass to 4 is denied, 1 keeps the ball and reads the defense. Do not force it.
Teaching cues
- 2 and 3: cut together off the screen and stay tight to it.
- 5: set a firm screen for the cutters.
- 4: set your screen, then release to the wing with your hands ready.
- 1: relocate after the pass.
