What it is
- A last possession is typically the final shot of a game or quarter.
How it works
- The offense has one chance to score.
- The design depends on the team's best offensive archetype.
- For a Shot Creator: The play is often an ISO.
- The Shot Creator receives the ball with space, attacks the defense one-on-one, and either scores or creates.
- Example: "pick and roll for the Shot Creator, roll-man pops to space, Shot Creator attacks the space created." For a Primary Ball Handler: A PnR.
