What it is
- The formation is a box with two players at the blocks and two at mid-post.
- The inbound is made to one of the mid-post players on the wing.
- A weak-side player cuts hard along the baseline off a cross-screen set by the opposite block player (the flex cut) for a layup.
Why it matters
- The inbound receiver, with height advantage, lobs the ball over the defense for an alley-oop or a drop-step finish.
- This play is used when the ball-side block player has a size advantage.
How it works
- The inbound is made to one of the mid-post players on the wing.
- A weak-side player cuts hard along the baseline off a cross-screen set by the opposite block player (the flex cut) for a layup.
- Immediately after, the player who set the cross-screen receives a down-screen from a perimeter teammate and pops up for a catch-and-shoot.
- This stagger of a baseline flex cut into a down-screen for the screener is what defines the flex action.
- SLOB Play 2 — "Horns": High-Post Pick-and-Roll Two mid-post players (elbow players) are positioned high.
