Favorite Send to FastDrawFor the Houston Rockets who have a star player that is a guard, they often see him be overplayed on the perimeter and denied the basketball for a reversal. All backdoor sets that are effective are counters to previously scouted plays or main sets that a team runs, and the Rockets took that into consideration when running this backdoor clearout for James Harden. Coming out of a chin formation, they send their 4-man thru on the baseline, and then clear out that entire side of the floor for Harden to dart backdoor. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis play clears out the right side of the floor for the ball-screen at the pinch post. Oregon has long, quick wings and guards who thrive on these type of plays. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe best shooter in the world does not hit a high percentage of shots simply because he’s a great shooter. He also does this because he gets high percentage looks like this one. This play is spaced out well so that it allowed Stephen Curry to run his defender into his own teammates before he went around a staggered screen. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawWhen you have a few baseline out of bounds plays in a game, why not try to capitalize on them when the defense is vulnerable and score every time? This screen the screener set is a great way to get a player who likes operating around the free throw line space. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Denver Nuggets have a great asset in Danilo Gallinari as a stretch-4. Coach Michael Malone uses him well, and this Horns set is one way in which he does. By flaring the ball screener like Gallinari, it opens up the lane completely for a drive or a slip if they pay too much attention to Gallo. See More

Favorite Send to FastDrawDuke ran this play to free up Winslow going to the rim and once the ball is reversed it turns into a post iso for him. Okafor screws the play up by not moving to the weak side block, but Duke ends up getting a basket on a post move from Winslow. If Okafor would have slid over to the opposite block and ducked his man in, Winslow would have had a lob dunk after the back screen from the point guard. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawMichigan State often attacks the zone with high ball screens... The screener short rolls, if the roller does not get the ball early-he must seal the high post area. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is a play I saw in a NCAA Division II game in January. The game was Mt. Olive and King (Tennessee). My apologies as a I don't remember which team ran the play, but it's great that you can find good, innovative offense everywhere. See More

Favorite Send to FastDrawTied 72-72 with under 20 seconds left to play Pittsburgh ran a stagger action that free’d up #3 Cameron Wright for a wide open mid-range jumper to win the game. #3 Wright missed the shot, but Pitt went on to defeat Horizon League member Oakland in overtime. A small part to this action that I really liked was when the 1 passed the 4 man as he navigated down to the block the 4 showed his hands to the 5 man at the elbow as if he was expecting a pass for a shot. Even if he wasn’t an option in the play his attention to detail caused his man to at least play him as a threat which created a better angle for his pin down screen for the 1 man. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawAmong the many things the Brooklyn Nets did well in their Game 1 victory over the Toronto Raptors was this great quick hitter set dialed up by Coach Jason Kidd in the waning moments of the 2nd quarter. With 1:13 on the clock in the 2nd, the Nets were able to get a wide open lay-up (Option 1) to increase their lead to 5 points. I added in the 3rd Option to create another scoring opportunity.
