Basketball Play - Elevator Screen Action

Elevator Screen Action

Matt Wheeler 11/02/2017

Just like in other actions, the positions don't matter as much as putting players with the right skill set in those positions. Most of the time the 1, 2, and 3 positions become interchangeable with the 4 & 5 usually setting the elevator screen. The elevator action happens when a player cuts between two screeners. Once they get through, the screeners close together (like elevator doors) to form a wall where the defender can't get through, which frees them for a shot. 1 must be a good passer to deliver the ball to the shooter. 2 needs to be a good shooter - this action should get them open for a shot. 3 can set additional screens, create misdirection or provide spacing. 4 & 5 are your screeners, typically they are your bigger players, and will close the door on the screen after 2 cuts through Blog Post: Offensive Action Breakdown - Elevator Screens See More

Basketball Play - Elevator Rip Lob

Elevator Rip Lob

Matt Wheeler 11/18/2025

The Miami Heat were able to get this play off with 0.4 seconds left to give them the win over the Cavs. The play starts with 3 cutting the ballside corner and 2 cutting to the top through the elevator screen from 1 & 4. This clears out the basket area for the lob for 4 (Andrew Wiggins) coming off the back screen from 1. See More

RED WING

Dymetrius Ware 10/17/2025

PLAY IS SET UP COMING DOWN IN TRANSITION. #2 ACTS LIKE HE IS SETTING A PIN DOWN SCREEN FOR #3 BUT AT LAST SECOND CUTS HARD BETWEEN #4 & #5's ELEVATOR SCREEN. #1 PASSES TO #2 FOR 3 PT SHOT OR LOOKS FOR #5 OR #4 ON A SLIP. #4 POPS TO BALLSIDE CORNER TO SET UP POSSIBLE WPR BETWEEN #2 & #5 WITH HIMSELF SHAPING UP BEHIND THE P&R FOR SHOT. #2 CAN PASS TO #5 OR TO #4. ON PASS TO #4, #5 GIVES #2 A BACK SCREEN FOR POSSIBLE LAYUP. WHEN #5's DEFENSIVE MAN HELPS ON #2, #5 PUNCHES IN FOR BETTER POST UP POSITION. #4 TAKES 1 OR 2 DRIBBLES TO SET UP PASSING ANGLE TO PASS TO #5 IN LOW POST. 3 PERIMETER PLAYERS SPACE OUT FOR WEAKSIDE 3.
