Elbow Through - FastModel Sports

Here is a good set of what I call an "elbow" alignment. Plays out of this formation have become popular in recent years and you will see anyone from the Argentinian national team to the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics running sets out of it. "Elbow Through" is a good set to free up your PG for a driving lane off a dribble handoff as well as create a shot for your best shooter off a stagger.
-
PG enters to 5 at the elbow. PG cuts through the middle and screens for 2 to the basket. 2 cuts over the top of PG.
-
4 pins down for PG and 5 follows right behind for a dribble handoff.
-
PG looks to turn the corner on the dribble handoff, making a play for himself or kicking to 3 in the corner for a shot.
-
If PG can't turn the corner he centers the ball. 2 fills behind off a stagger set by 4 and 5 looking for a shot.
