Start Shooter In Corner, Create Top 3-Pointer
The initial movement starts right then utilizes ball reversal and a well-timed downscreen to free the shooter coming high at the top. MORE
Start the action with a pass to the left, then use ball reversal and dribble penetration to attack the right-side baseline before zipping a cross-court pass to the left corner.
WHY USE IT
Run this set to create an open corner 3-pointer.
SET UP
The point guard has the ball on the right wing with 2 on the left wing. 4 is at the left elbow. 3 is deeper on the right wing and 5 is on the left block.
HOW TO PLAY
1 passes to 2 on the left wing. 1 and 3 exchange spots with 3 moving high and 1 shifting lower into the set yet still outside the 3-point line [diagram 1].
2 reverses the ball by passing to 3. 3 passes to 1. 4 and 5 remain their spots [diagram 2].
1 now attacks the baseline with the dribble. 5 comes across the court and sets a ball screen for 1 so 1 comes free just inside the right corner. 4 steps to the middle of the floor and screens for 3. 3 uses the screen to move all the way to the left corner. 1 passes across the baseline to 3 for the open jumper [diagram 3].
TECHNIQUE
This can be a tough pass for 1, so be sure 1 has the ability to zip the pass without it hitting the hoop or forcing 3 to step on the baseline to catch it. If there is no help defense along the baseline, 1 also has the option to dribble and score at the hoop.
