"setting up"
After we get scored on and a player is dribbling the ball up the court, do the players all run to one of the spots and then decide if they should cut or not based on the D? Let’s say the 2 wings have defenders that are initially over the read line, do they both cut and the 2 corner spots fill? Should I have the pg “dribble at” to get it started? I don’t know how to practice the transition from getting scored on into the Read and React. Off a defensive rebound is a lot easier it seems.
Thanks! -

One way to overcome the PG arriving to a stationary group is to have the players run the floor all the way to the go spot, then fill out and fill up. I find as the PG is arriving with the ball there is motion, and the offense flows better. A player filling up hard from the corner to the wing is an excellent target for a first pass.

Scott, what do you mean by the go spot?

I’m going to guess that Scott means run to the rim or through the lane, then you can fill out and fill up. Scott’s answer is dead on.
Your ballhandler can also get things started with a Dribble-At if the pass is not safe. Double Dribble-At is a good way to begin. Dribble-At and the cutter posts up – Feed the post and laker cut is a good way to begin. Double Dribble At in the same direction, pass uphill and cut hard to set a backscreen on the weakside allows the receiver of your pass to Draft Drive your cut without any help defense (Real Estate Layer 1). Dribble At a wing and let the players on the weakside set a Pin Screen on helping defenders – this allows you to start with Pin & Skip. Dribble-At a Wing – the Wing Posts up (but don’t feed them) – pass uphill and the post backscreens for the passer/cutter which creates two options: cutter and the screener shaping up for the 3 on the perimeter.
This could go on and on. There are 32 of these in the FUSION PRACTICE SYSTEM. There are 150+ of these in QUICKHITTERS.
