The ability to utilize a stretch-shooting big man is paramount in the NBA, and becoming more important in the collegiate and high school games as well. A great counter to teams that will look for the pick-and-roll or pick-and-pop, the Pelicans ran this set to get Anthony Davis a three point opportunity in the corner. They have also run it for Ryan Anderson with great success. The Spin dribble, which triggers the action to begin, allows for perfect timing of the play when Davis arrives in the corner.
1 (Smith) triggers 4 (Davis) to cut thru the lane with a spin dribble. As Smith dribbles back, 2 (Gordon) raises.
1 (Smith) and 2 (Gordon) engage in a dribble handoff while 4 (Davis) comes off a baseline stagger from 3 (Babbitt) and 5 (Asik).
