Stack Offense #1 - Man-to-Man Offense

Stack Offense #1
Offense against a man-to-man defense






The point of this offensive set is essentially just to get a nice ball-screen on the wing that creates looks for every player on the court.  Here's how it works:
  1. This offensive set begins in a two-guard set, with your point handling the ball.  You should have your 3 (SF) stacked at the ball-side block with your 5-man (C), and your 4-man should be on the opposite block.
  2. To start the play, your shooting guard and power forward should still be in the same position.  Your small forward will follow your center up to the elbow (literally right against him, allowing no room), then breaking out to the wing to create space from a high-pressure defender.  The point guard should enter the ball into the wing, and then dive to the corner by cutting down off the center's screen to the block, then shooting to the corner.  If the pass is open to the point guard cutting, hit him in stride for a lay-up.  Otherwise, just wait for him to cut to the corner.
  3. Now, your center will go set a ball-screen for your small forward on the wing.  Simultaneously, your power forward will curl around to set a backscreen for your shooting guard.  Your small forward should attack the basket and your center should roll after setting the screen.  Also, your point guard can slide up a little bit or stay in the corner if he's open.
  4. Now here are your options!  Your small forward can a) attack the basket, b) pull up for a jumpshot from the elbow, c) hit your center rolling, d) hit your shooting guard off the backscreen, e) hit your power forward at the elbow as he flashes after setting the backscreen, and f) hitting the point guard in the corner or low wing for a three.
There are multiple set plays off this offensive set, so stay tuned for the rest!
