Did Hayward add low post to his game? The Jazz ran this play several times during the scrimmage but could never make a clean entry pass into Hayward.

Usually the point guard would run all the way through (or post up if you're D-Will) and possibly some double screen for the mid-range catch and shoot (floppy-loop). This time he camps out, and Favors is too high to run the double screen anyway.

Hayward actually made this post several times, where Holliday merely hits the spot and waits to reverse for the double screen catch and shoot back the other way. Hayward did the same when the post wasn't there.

Two double screens from Kanter and Favors here. One for the point and one for the wing.

If the floppy double screen shot is open then Holliday can hit it. If the defense plays it like they did here then Favors cheats the screen to initiate a pnr off the pass to Holliday.
Everything was defended very well here by the help defenders (especially Evans), so the Jazz reverse and go into side pick and roll. This seems to be their go to bailout play this season, they went to it many times when stuff wasn't there. Much better than Alfense but I'm not sure it will yield mediocre results.

I've always loved the detail of your posts!! Haters hate....keep them coming.

Thanks, Jose.


Here's Burks running the same play. I was surprised to see him try to post up much more than I was seeing them run it for Hayward several different times and different initiations.

The difference here is Gobert dives down to set the pick and then post as opposed to letting Burks rub off him on the right side. Evans has to come down deeper to balance it out.

I might screen shot the guard options later on, but it's just basic flex when they're initiating the UCLA cut. They aren't getting layups but did get some good looks about 10 feet further out baseline. i.e. Burks on the first play and Ian Clark later on. I didn't notice them setting up too much right block for Favors with this.

---------------

Next up might be Corbin's new way of initiating horns by flashing the right side high post from somewhere closer to the baseline or even the lower left side. I like the movement beforehand instead of just setting up the 1-4 right away.

 

[franklin]

More of Hayward posting up, this time out of horns. Corbin runs tons of slightly different horns starting positions. I wonder if this one having Gobert in between the low and high post has something to do with Gobert's particular skillset.

Here's another Hayward post up attempt. This time he UCLA cuts but stops on the right block instead of the left.

If it's not there then they run the same action.

This play resulted in a side pnr with Burke. The bailout option.

That's the Deron Williams play, there. Difference is that the big has the ball. Delaying the standard flex motion is all it is. This option I would think is only going to be used when Hayward's the 2, essentially with Burks not on the floor.

Notice the number 10 jersey bottom/middle of the screen when Hayward is posting. Just an fyi.

Right right, I mentioned that earlier.

Don't you think the play will work better with Kanter than Gobert as he's more a shooting threat. This post up is worthless with the big being able to double Hayward without recourse.

You are correct sir. There would have to be some threat that the shot would be taken and hit to discourage a double. Maybe get Biedrens out there, that would do it.

Show us the play where Burke looked good.

Ty Corbin, pay attention.

I hate the idea of using Hayward to initiate the offense. He's a 40+ % 3 point shooter and I want more plays ran to get him open shots. Here's an old Adelman set. The beginning is a typical 1-4 that you ran to death last night despite poor results. Difference with the Kings is Brad Miller often came from the baseline up to take the pass (here he loops around from the right high post to create some good movement to begin the play).

Hayward would play Bibby's spot. He comes up to set the screen on Matador, which forces McLeod to flash in front of Boozer's man until they can switch back.

One key to this play is having Artest make his cut on Boozer's left, causing more confusion with Harpring and him running into each other. The best screens to set is the defense screening itself (like you had Jefferson and Favors do in defending the pick and roll last season).

Notice Boozer in no mans land, Harpring is about to trip over himself keeping up with Artest, and if either guards Bibby then it's a huge mismatch. Boozer has to switch back with the black Irishman, and Bibby is way out in front of him behind the Brad Miller dump off and screen. You can't go over or under that.

Sploosh!

 

[franklin]

Similar play except Bibby initiates the pass and instead of 1-4 the Kings load both wings on the right side.

Here's that back screen on Boozer and the two runs to the left block instead of the right. Bibby sets up McLeod hard and sprints up for the same Brad Miller dump off and screen.

Also, notice how wide open Artest is. This would be either Alec Burks or Trey Burk staring at a wide open three, or having a nice mismatch with Boozer guarding him. Shot fake, drive for layup or hit #32 in the corner for wide open 3.

Sploosh!
