What it is
- This is a traditional "big-ball" configuration.
- All five players are perimeter-based, creating maximum gravity across the entire floor.
- This geometry is ideal for spacing teams but removes interior rebounding and post-up options.
Why it matters
- It removes some perimeter spacing but creates a strong interior presence for post-ups and rebounding.
How it works
- The interior is empty except for ball-handlers driving.
- This geometry is ideal for spacing teams but removes interior rebounding and post-up options.
- 4-Out-1-In (four perimeter, one post): The Versatile Big or Stretch Big occupies the mid-post (elbow or high-post), providing some gravity without removing all interior presence.
- This is the modern "standard" spacing: you get perimeter space for drives and kicks but maintain some post optionality.
- 3-Out-2-In (three perimeter, two post): Three perimeter shooters (less spacing), two post players.
