Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Golden State Warriors ran this during the second quarter of their season opening game against the San Antonio Spurs. They used a variation of the wedge play where a guard sets a high screen for a post player who then cuts into a ball screen or post up. In this version the Warriors used false action of the ball reversal and dribble handoff before getting into the wedge ball screen action. They also added a flare screen up top for a secondary option in this play. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Boston Celtics summer league team used this play as their regular sideline out of bounds offense. Having the 5 pop up top to receive inbounds pass gives them a safe outlet since most 5's won't deny the ball that far up the floor. 1 comes off of multiple screens before looking for the inbounder (2) on the flare screen. If 2 isn't open. 1 uses the ball screen from 5 to create a scoring opportunity. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawWith the Boston Celtics trailing by 3 points with 12.3 seconds remaining in the 4th quarter in their pre-season game versus the Philadelphia 76ers, Brad Stevens ran this set to create an open 3-point shot for James Young. However, Timothe Luwawu-Cabaroot does an excellent job of anticipating and getting over the flare screen to prevent the shot. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot See More

Favorite Send to FastDrawFlex is a very common action in all levels, high school to NBA. At the highest levels, if a team wants optimal posting position off a flex screen, they must disguise that a flex screen is coming by running false movement early in the set. Jeff Hornacek did this with the Suns, mixing it in with his pitch offense. See More

Favorite Send to FastDrawNigeria runs this as a counter to their regular Chin sets. 1 would normally use the back screen from 5, but in this play he goes over the flare from 4. After getting the ball, 1 drives baseline looking for an open shot off the hammer screen from 5 or for 2 filling behind. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawSpain often runs a unique entry into their Horns sets. They start with an elevator screen for 3, which gets him the ball in the top of the key area. 1 & 2 then cut to the corners to get into the Horns formation. They have different options depending on who sets the ball screen. If 5 sets the screen, he rolls to the basket and 4 pops. If 4 sets the screen, he immediately goes off of a flare screen from 5. If nothing is available 5 follows the ball for a pick & roll. Blog Post: Offensive Actions Breakdown - Elevator Screens See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawBrazil ran this set multiple times in their preliminary game against Lithuania to get open looks for their wing players. The handoff flare screen combination proved difficult to guard. When it was defended successfully, Brazil ran a ball screen option to get their point guard in a position to attack the paint. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawWith the Australian Boomers win over the French national team I thought I would put up my favorite play from the French U17 mens team. We played the French team in pre world competition losing to them by 1 point on a shot at the buzzer. This action which we called "cirlce motion" was very effective at allowing them to have multiple scoring options while being hard for us to negate defencively. I like the action to create uncontested threes and/or in situations you want some time off the clock before on ball play. See More
