Basketball Play: Rolling
Summary
This basketball play is really simple, yet effective set play that gives you lots of options near the basket, or an open jump shot. This play is great in late game situations to get an easy bucket, or you can use it as a set in your half-court offense.
Personnel
Player 1 should be a good ball handler and passer. Player 2 should be your best shooter. Player 5 should be good at jumping, catching, and finishing near the basket. Player 3 is your screener and rebounder. Player 4 should be a good post player.
Instructions
- Players 4 and 5 should step out from the high post and position themselves near the three-point arc so the 1 can dribble off their ball screens.
- Player 1 should dribble off Player 5. As Player 1 rubs off the screen, Player 2 should be spotting up in the corner and Player 4 rolls to the basket.
- Player 1 can drive all the way to the basket, pass to Player 2 in the corner, or hit Player 4 rolling to the basket.
- If a quick shot was not taken, Player 3 should then back screen for Player 5.
- Player 1 should look for the lob pass to 5.
- You also have the option to enter the ball into 4 in the post. Then hit player 5 from the post, instead of throwing the lob.
- Depending on the shot taken, be sure that Player 3, 4, and/or 5 are ready for the rebound. One of them should be in good position for a second shot.
