Offensive Theory

Below is an animated basketball play.

Click here. 


  • The point guard tries to penetrate off the high screen and roll.
  • The '5' then screens down for the '4'
  • The '4' remains as floor balance.
  • The point guard can penetrate into the lane or dish to the wing for the jumper if the defense helps.
Note the combination play: the "high screen", the 4 and 5 working off each other, and the potential for the 1 and the 2 to combine for an open shot. Basketball is a team game first and foremost...and the greatest victories come to the team not to the individual.
