The offense usually starts out with four players outside the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_field_goal']three-point arc[/URL] with one player at the top of the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_(basketball)']key[/URL]. The ball is kept in constant motion through passing until either a mismatch allows a player to cut to the basket or a player without the ball cuts toward the unoccupied area under and around the basket, and is passed the ball for a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layup']layup[/URL].

The hallmark of the offense is the backdoor pass, where a player on the [URL='https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/wing#Noun']wing[/URL] suddenly moves in towards the basket, receives a bounce pass from a guard on the perimeter, and (if done correctly) finds himself with no defenders between him and a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layup']layup[/URL].

I don't see why we couldn't run something like this as a set piece. If our guys aren't going to take it strong to the rim with layups then go backdoor for dunks put it off the backboard for a goaltend or get fouled in the process.

And it could give Joseph a few more minutes while getting us to the line if we get fouled shooting a  three occasionally. Only downside is puts alot of running on Gbinije and Cooney and we need them on the defensive end.
