This is a simple sideline rear flare set for your best shooter.

The 1 player will pass the ball to the 2 player stepping up the floor to get the pass.

 

 

The 2 player will take 1 hard dribble towards the 1 player to make the pass.

This gets their defender moving away from the flare screen.

The 5 player steps up and gets into position to set the flare screen.

 

After making the pass, the 2 player will flare off the screen for the 3-pointer.

This is a blind rear flare screen.

The 5 player will roll to the basket for a layup if X5 helps on the flare.

The 4 player flashes high to take away any help on 5 rolling to the basket.

These 2 plays from the Eurobasket Tournament eBook Playbook (assembled by Kyle Pertuset)

My hope in presenting plays is that you can take them and change them to fit your own needs or to use to brainstorm ways to get your scorers into positions where they can be effective.

For example, you might be able to find ways to screen for your ball screeners in some of your sets to help them get to their ball screen without their defender.

These plays are a part of this week’s eBook bundle.

5 screens for 4

1 runs a dribble hand off with 2

4 sets a ball screen for 2 after the dribble hand off.

 

1 continues to the other side to come off a stagger from 3 and 5

2 comes off the ball screen and can hit the roller or 1 coming of the screens.

You could include 3 spacing with 5 flashing to the lane if that fits your needs.

You could also use this as a way to isolate your 1 in the post if that is to your advantage.

4 passes to 3.

 

 

 

3 enters the ball to 1 in the low post.

Even if you don’t run the play exactly as it is drawn up, I hope you can find a way to modify it to fit your needs.

Zipper Pin Down Runner 1

This is a good 3-point set for a shooter.

The 2 player (Shooter) will cut hard to the top off the Zipper Screen by the 5 player.

The 3 player will come up hard off the down screen to get the pass from the 2 player.

 

The 1 player will cut hard off the double low stagger screens as an option for this play.

 

 

 

 

The 5 player will set the flare screen for the 2 player, which results in a 3 point shot.

 

 

 

 

 

If the flare is not open, you can continue the play with a high ball screen.

If X5 helps on the flare, they will be late to hedge on the ball screen, which opens up a roll and replace action.
