About This Play/Drill

Lithuania ran this unique shuffle cut variation in their opening round game against Brazil.  Typically shuffle cut actions put the player receiving the staggered screen in the weakside corner .  This way they can easily come off of the staggered screen after the shuffle screen takes place.  In this play, 3 uses the UCLA cut to look for a layup on the strong side.  If 3 isn't open he moves to weakside block to open up a cutting area for 1, who is using the shuffle screen from 4.  4 & 5 then immediately set a staggered screen for 3.  If 3 doesn't have a shot, Lithuania has added a ball screen option where the point guard sets a back screen for the 5 to free him up for a layup.
