Iverson Wiper: UCLA runs a nice quick-hitting misdirection set to get one their best offensive players a shot. They use an Iverson cut by the point guard followed by a quick drive and a wiper screen by the big with shooter Jake Kyman coming back to the ball. Kyman produced 1.07 PPP to lead the Bruins last season, and putting him in the 93% percentile overall according to Synergy.
#21 Florida State Seminoles
Drag Back SPNR: FSU runs a nice multiple action set into a SPNR. The multiple actions confuse the defense which results in a wide open look for Wyatt Wilkes, who produced a 1.364 PPP last season on spot up situations. This would be an easy ATO set to implement with your team to get a great look for three-point range.
Swing Through SLOB: This cutting action vs a zone puts a ton of pressure on the zone to communicate and rotate. Simple, yet highly effective set that showcases FSU’s long athletic wings that can score on the interior.
