The shuffle-stagger is a common action in the NBA and in levels beneath it. The great part of a shuffle-stagger is having a wing post up for an advantage down low, and a shooter coming off a double stagger from the opposite corner to occupy the help defense. The difficulty of a shuffle-stagger action can be finding ways to reverse the ball when the defense knows it is coming and won't let the action develop. Coach Popovich and the Spurs have a strong way to get into the shuffle-stagger, almost out of a Horns formation. See More

This entry into horns runs 1 into the lane to set a stagger screen with 3 for 4 as 2 gets a dribble handoff from 5. This is a great set to get your 4 on the block for a quick 2. See More

This set play gets the ball in the post first. The Clippers do a great job setting this up. When Redick first comes off of Jordan’s screen he acts as if he is going to screen for Paul, but cuts at the last second. This misdirection sets it up for him to come right back around off of the stagger screens. See More

To make this as effective as possible have your best shooter set the backscreen for the 5 man. This puts his defender in a very difficult position as he has a split second to decide if he is going to stop the ball, stop the roll, or just worry about preventing the best three-point shooter from getting an open shot. It is also effective because it brings three defenders to the main action in the middle of the floor, thus eliminating another help defender just standing there waiting to rotate. See More

This is a common action where two bigs set an offset double screen looking to get a guard a shot. When labeling my plays, I typically shorten it to "Stagger." See More

One of the Hornets favorite sets in the half court can be just as effective as a SLOB. The Hornets set it up by making Batum’s defender fight through false action zipper screens, and then come right back and make him fight through stagger screens. Batum scores here but the play has many options. Your point guard can take it to the rim right away off the ballscreens. If you have a big man who can shoot, have him pop after the stagger screen because if his man switches or overhelps, he could be wide open for a three-pointer. See More

The ability to utilize a stretch-shooting big man is paramount in the NBA, and becoming more important in the collegiate and high school games as well. A great counter to teams that will look for the pick-and-roll or pick-and-pop, the Pelicans ran this set to get Anthony Davis a three point opportunity in the corner. They have also run it for Ryan Anderson with great success. The Spin dribble, which triggers the action to begin, allows for perfect timing of the play when Davis arrives in the corner. See More
