Top 3

Baseline out-of-bounds play designed to free up the inbounder for a clean top-of-the-key three.

Breakdown

  • 4 and 5 set baseline screens for 2 and 3, who cut across the court.
  • 1 inbounds to 3 on the ballside wing.
  • Immediately after the inbound, 4 and 5 set a low double screen in the lane.
  • 1 uses the double screen to pop to the top of the key.
  • 3 looks to hit 1 for an open three-pointer at the top.

Coaching Tip

4 and 5 should set the low double screen quickly after the inbound. 1 must cut immediately to stay in rhythm and keep the defense off balance.
