• The NBA is a Point Guard driven league.
• The hardest position in the NBA to learn and master is the “point guard position”.
• About Point Guards…There are two kinds of Point Guards: 1) “New School,” aggressive, looking to score points early, by creating off the dribble; 2) “Old School”, trying to execute the offense first by getting other players shots early. As the shot clock is winding down, then being more aggressive.
• The Point Guard position is about “winning intangibles.” The best ones make it special by their assists, leadership, clutch shooting, and defense!
• About NBA Point Guards: You never want your point guard to be so “Shot Happy”, that he doesn’t or won’t get his teammates involved first in the flow of the “Team Offense”.
• Good NBA Point Guards will always see the floor, control the tempo of the game, make timely jump shots, and uncanny lay‐ups in the lane.

RAIDER PLAYBOOK: PNR "HI-LOW"

Celtics: 13 Hook Thru

FRAME 1:

1 enters the ball to 3 on the wing coming off a pin screen from 5, 1 then cuts to opposite wing.

FRAME 2:

If the 5 man has no advantage in the post, 3 swings the ball to 4 as 2 sets up the Hook by screening for 5.

FRAME 3:

4 will reverse the ball to 1. 5 will come off 2's screen, and immediately sprints to a ball screen for 1 on the catch.

FRAME 4:

1 uses 5's ball screen and can shoot a jumper, dump to 5 on the roll, or look for 2 coming off a pin screen from 4. 4 may be open on a slip and 3 may be open spotted up in the corner. 

RAIDER PLAYBOOK: HORNS, "Point Trough"

About this Play/Drill:

"Point Through" is a good set to for your PG. It also creates a good shot for a shooter off a stagger.

Description:

• PG enters to 5 at the elbow. PG cuts through the middle and screens for 2 to the basket. 2 cuts over the top of PG.
• 4 pins down for PG and 5 follows right behind for a dribble handoff.
• PG looks to turn the corner on the dribble handoff, making a play for himself or kicking to 3 in the corner for a shot.
• If PG can't turn the corner he centers the ball. 2 fills behind off a stagger set by 4 and 5 looking for a shot.
