Picket Fence Play
Summary
This play often causes confusion for defenses, leading to easy baskets. It is particularly effective if you have a dominant point guard. It features an unbalanced court, a couple of screens, and plenty of movement.
Personnel
Player 1 should be a dominant ball handler and a good decision maker. Player 2 should be a good ball handler, an excellent passer, and a good shooter. Player 3 should be a good shooter. Players 4 and 5 should be good screeners and rebounders.
Instructions
-
Player 1 goes one-on-one against the defender, all the way to the hoop if possible. The other players line up along the opposite lane line in the order indicated. Note that Player 3 is between Players 4 and 5. If defenders come over to help on Player 1, then passing opportunities to players open for close shots become available.
|
|
|
-
If Player 1 cannot beat the defender for an easy shot, then he reverses the ball to Player 2 who has popped up high at the top of the key. Player 3 steps back, and Players 4 an 5 step close together to provide a screen for Player 3.
|
|
|
-
Player 2 delivers a pass to Player 3 for a short shot. Player 1 sets a screen for Player 5.
|
|
|
-
If Player 3 is not open, Player 5 uses Player 1's screen on the low side and moves to the weak side. Player 1 cuts out to the strong side three-point line.
|
|
|
-
Finally, Player 4 sets a high-side screen for Player 3, who uses it to cut into the key for a pass. Player 4 opens up to the ball after Player 3 goes by. If nothing has opened up by this time, you are playing an extremely good defensive team!

Great play. It confuses the defense, gives you options, and it looks like a quick-hitter. Great job.

I like this play because you can use it off of the fast break. I am still skeptical to using it often for man to man and even zone defenses. I think this play is for Middle School levels and below just because many here have said that the play is good for "experienced" teams.

I saw this play used to win a hs playoff game a couple of years ago. It's best used as a last second, desperation play because any team worth it's salt can figure out how to defend it easy if they see it more than once. All you have to do is fight through the screens and play position defense. If you know where the players are going to be breaking to then you can be in their way before they get there.

i think i works if your backcourt where good shoters and if the defense rotates off the screen one of the shotters will be open for a shoot
