Annotations:

  • Startling impact on player development. 
  • Major changes in BLOB success
  • Precision of motion and timing
  • Commonly begins with "flat" set
  • Inbounder is often underestimated
  • Decoy screens to create slips
  • Sleeping defenses on the baseline weakside
  • ATO success
  • Nice Flex Action off the SLOB
  • Aligning players to inform their strong hand
  • Note great Bradley cut at the 5:00 mark
  • Simplicity of execution gets critical "buy-in"
