And what looks "okay" on paper can fail miserably against live defense or with corrupted spacing.
Against the 2-3 zone, entry into our 5 into a handback has setup big problems for teams handling our 5. As a changeup, why not add elements from the Izzo "X" to attack from the weak side?
Clear the traffic and set a backscreen away.
Need a 3? Start the play the same way and bring a downscreen to free a shooter. We ran this skeleton today at a workout and the shooter drained the trey.
Add a stack away to create multiple options. That could open a midrange shot or a tight curl into a drive and 2-on-1 with the 2 and 5.
If we're going to improve, then we need quality shots on a higher percentage of possessions. As Eric Musselman explained in his podcast with Chris Oliver, a turnover equals a zero percentage possession.
