"Share something great." We don't need to implement everything we see. But we can get ideas on improving what we do and how we do it. Do more of what works and less of what doesn't. What works in the Atlantic Division?
Brooklyn's offense scored the third most points per game in the Atlantic, which is saying something with their talent. Kenny Atkinson migrated the offense from Atlanta and the video shows Hawks running the sets at times.
Similar setups and spacing. What could we run...before examining what they do?
1) On the "Strong" set, it's easy to see "Triangle" basics.
2) On the "Weak" set, you could run Flex with 2 coming off 5 and then 5 getting the downscreen from 4 or bring the 3 up and run "pinch post" offense.
Let's see a few examples of what they do.
From "Strong" they enter they get wing entry, then reverse the ball off weak side screening and then reverse again to the post who has drifted to get a "corner 3".
They look to ball reversal to get postups or slips.
If they don't get entry, then how about a double staggered screen? You can visualize this coming off a horns set with the guard passing to one post then cutting opposite to set up the stagger.
Or the stagger turns into a "pick and dive".
They also used what I call "Bucks" action, because the Bucks hurt the Celtics with this using Brogdon and Antetokuompo.
Here, 'weak' flows into pick-and-roll action. Personnel dictates who you want finishing.
Or, the Nets can go screen-and-roll into ball reversal against sagging defenses.
Realistically, we need simplicity, but we learn through seeing and understanding how offenses get separation.
