This is a situation where having a 4 that can handle the ball can make your offense dynamic. On this play, Aaron Gordon acts as point guard, running a basic Pick and Roll with Nikola Vucevic, along with some added motion with the 1 and 2. This accomplishes a few things: A) The beginning of the set looks almost as if the point guard is coming up to take the ball, which forces the defense to anticipate. B) Having the 4 as the ball handler, 1 off the ball, and the 3 stuck in the corner puts Russell Westbrook and Paul George off the ball, allowing the offense to attack the Thunder's weaker players. C) A taller player can simply see the roll man better and deliver a nice pass that goes through the help defense in a way that a smaller player may not be able to do. D) The off-ball motion during the roll forces defenders to keep their attention on their assignments away from the ball. While this play requires players with unique skillsets, the concepts can be translated to just about any level, the idea that having a ball handler who is not the typical ball handler can be used to exploit weaknesses in the defense in ways that only using a traditional point guard cannot.

Exellent misdrection set to get your best guard driving downhill to the rim! If no driving lane is available, we counter by having 5 follow to a ball screen and then slip. This same action can be used as a half court set as well. See More

NAIL ISO is a concept stemming from the NAIL entry of X-Action. If the nail player (who can be anybody; does not have to be your Center) does not deliver either handoff from X-Action, face up and look to go 1v1 with the cutting and filling ongoing. Get the complete X-Action Playbook! See More

A very simple but effective set out of the Horns formation. You may think this will never work, but the proof is in the video below! This was a staple out of Chris Mack's Horns series when he was at Xavier. I like this action because even if the initial action is guarded, you can seemlessly flow into another Horns action like flex, 45 ball screen, etc. Click for more Horns sets!

This Horns set has multiple options including a post feed and a potential three at the top of the key. If the post feed and the screen the screener action are covered, then this set turns into a pitch action with a slashing guard driving into a double gap! Click for more Horns sets!
