BOB into Offense

I like inbounds plays that have an option to flow 'naturally' into offense. I also like the 'Horns' set, which takes interior defenders away from the basket.

Here's an example:

The play starts with a 'vanilla' box. After an inbound, the 3 might have one-on-one action, but it's designed to free the point guard at the top via an "elevator" screen. 4 and 5 'close the doors' on the elevator after the inbounder (1) cuts through.

If you have a point guard who has three-point range, they might get an open trey, or you are set up for a 'natural' flow into the Horns set. There are a lot of choices at that point, including high ball screen, a quick 'slip' to the basket for one of your twin high posts, or any of the many 'horns' options.
