The Denver Nuggets frequently like to get Paul Millsap the ball in the post to let him go to work one on one. This time the Nuggets used Millsap (4) as a passer in the post to set up the elevator screen for a three-point shot. Check out the video clip of the play below. See More

Inbounding the ball from the corner can be a difficult situation. The Nuggets started this play with good spacing to make sure they got the ball in. Once 1 got the pass they ran a decoy action with 3 cutting across screens from 5 and 4 to shift the defense. 1 then dribbled back to the original side to pass the ball to 2, cutting through the elevator screen for a shot.

This was used by the Philadelphia 76ers during the first round of the 2019 NBA playoffs. This is a great after time out or sideline out of bounds play when a team needs a 3 and has a shooter with a quick release. See More

This is a great counter to their double stagger side pick & roll set you can find in my playbank as well (Twins SPNR). This is a creative design from Coach Beard and staff. National Championship Game Preview: Texas Tech and Virginia XsOs See More

This is a sample of the Texas Tech true motion offense. This is not a set play but a picture of the sequences of actions you will have to guard when facing them. In one possession you have to guard: a drag screen, flare screen, slipped step-up screen, a pick & pop, and one last flare screen by the 5 to empty the paint. The spacing struggles at times but they force you into uncommon situations and actions that it presents the opportunity for miscommunication and scoring opportunities.

This set is my favorite of the 2019 NCAA Tournament. Virginia ran the elevator set out of a box formation. As Auburn thought it had guarded it well, Virginia built in a counter with a screen for a throwback on the baseline drive. This resulted in a wide open 3 in the Final Four, and Virginia went on to play in the National Championship game. Blog Post: Virginia's Elite Efficiency on Both Sides of the Ball See More

The Louisville women's basketball team is a 1-seed in the NCAA Tournament. Coach Jeff Walz runs some terrific box sets. This is a really good three point set, that also features the ability to throw the ball inside. They ran this in their second round match-up against Michigan. See More

ATo from Liberty in the first round of the NCAA Tournament against Mississippi State. It works well when 1 is able to set the pin screen for 3 because this frees him up more for the elevator to close. See More

Kansas State used their best player, Barry Brown Jr. (2) as a decoy in this play to get an open three-point shot. 2 made an Iverson cut off of screens from 5 & 4. 3 then cuts through the elevator screen on the opposite side of the floor to receive the pass from 1 for the open three. See More

ATO from Liberty in the first round of the NCAA tournament against Mississippi State. It works well when 1 is able to set the pin screen for 3. This helps get his own defender off of him and gives some space for the elevator to close. See More

This set is very tough to guard. It gives the defense multiple actions to defend and the offense multiple oppurtunities to score. See More

Head coach Brett Brown of the Philadelphia 76ers runs this simple elvator screen play, after a misdirection flare screen. A quick action to find an open 3-pointer for a shooter. Click for more 76ers sets! See More

This is a play that has many moving parts, and is great for a team that loves setting screens. The Lakers used this to get an open look for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. It starts with what looks like a basic pick and roll with LeBron James and Tyson Chandler. Then, Chandler turns his roll into an elevator screen for Caldwell-Pope, who then executes a give-and-go with James into an off-ball screen and flare screen that opens up a 3pt opportunity on the catch. For this to work, you need guards and forwards willing to sacrifice their bodies to make plays. It pays off, even if the spacing can get wonky at times. Also as a note: you don't necessarily need a "LeBron James" to make this play work. The 1 and the 3 are easily interchangeable. James just happened to be playing the 3 when he was the ball-handler on this play. Click for more plays and drills from Matt Barnthouse! See More
