Srdjan Solkotovic in Basketball Plays

Diamond Variation for Post Up Play

We have the standard diamond formation, where 2 uses 4’s block to get open on the wing and receive a pass. Player 4 then sets a screen for 5 and gets open in the short corner. Player 5 uses the screen to get in a good position in the paint. Player 2 then cuts to the wing receiving a screen from 4. Player 5 tries to score, if not possible we have 1 set a screen for 2 for a pass at the top of the key for a last-second shoot.
