"Chips": A BLOB for An Inside Scorer

One of my favorite things about scouting is that you constantly pick up new ideas that you can steal and use. One of the teams that we played this year (I won't say which one out of respect) ran this play called "Chips". It's a baseline inbounds play for a 4 or 5 man (or anyone really) that is a good inside scorer. This team ran the set for their stud 4 man and got him lots of good shots off of it. It was too good not to steal!

The set starts in a line. Put a shooter first to occupy the defense on the back side. A post player is second.  Your best shooter is the third player in line. The first player goes basket and corners out. The second player goes to the ball side corner. The third player cuts hard to the rim (sometimes you can get this shot). The inbounder throws to the corner who reverses to the point at the top. The third guy in line, who dove in-screens the inbounder who curls to the rim.

As the inbounder curls, the corner (5) pins in for the  screener who pops to the corner for a three.

Here is a short clip of Euroleague team Maccabi Tel Aviv running something pretty similar in a game this year.
