What it is
- Need a Three-Pointer: Use quick-hitting plays designed for three-point shooters.
How it works
- Ideally, the play involves a perimeter player receiving the ball with room to shoot.
- Need a Two-Pointer: Low-post, screen-and-roll, or drive-and-kick plays work here.
- The play should create a mid-range opportunity or a drive.
- Under Your Own Basket: These are typically full-court inbounds if you're out of bounds near your baseline.
- They focus on getting the ball to a outlet quickly to start fast-break motion.
