To give you a head start, I have outlined 4 different basketball offenses you can implement today to capitalize on anything the defense may throw at you. Offense #1: Greece - International Pick & Roll Set This basketball offense is a Pick & Roll continuous action that is great for scoring on man-to-man defenses.

This is a man-to-man offense we use when we aren’t getting much out of our regular motion offense. It’s a 5-man structured motion that utilizes the flex cut. It’s effective because it uses different screens and creates plenty of opportunities to hurt a switching defense, or one that offers a lot of defensive help from the weak side.
