- Perimeter players constantly relocate, cut, and screen
- Actions build on each other (one action sets up next)
- Emphasis on a repeating, predetermined pattern (the flex-cut and down-screen continuity), with reads layered on top rather than primarily free-flowing
- High-low entry: Perimeter passes to post, post reads (score, pass back, send cutter)
