Basketball Play - Houston Rockets Box Set - Big Man


I got this play from Kevin Eastman's blog. It is a set the Houston Rockets use that has multiple options and could end up with the big man open near the hoop.

  • The play begins in a box set with the post players on the top.

  • 4 & 5 set staggered ball screens for 1.
  

  • 2 & 3 set position themselves to set staggered back screens for 5.

  • 1 looks to pass the ball to 5.
  

  • If 5 is not open underneath the basket, 4 sets a screen in the middle of the lane for 3. 3 cuts to the top of the key.

  • 2 cuts to the wing.

  

After the ball screen 4 has a few different options:

  • Option 1 - 4 opens up to the middle after the screen set for 3.
  

  • Option 2 - Afer the pass from 1 to 3, 4 sets a high ball screen.
  

  • Option 3 - On the ball reversal, 4 sets a screen for 5.

Great play. Keeps the big man engaged and moving constatnly. If you are bleesed with a big that is your number 1 option; this play gives him 2 or 3 plays on getting the ball.
