Using The 7-Cut To Get Easy Layups

Here’s a new basketball play you can run out of a 4 out 1 in set. The 7-cut is a type of basket cut that takes one of your perimeter players down into the paint for a staggered double screen. He reads the defense, and if it’s open, he dives down the lane to receive a pass from the wing.

This one’s great for teams who try to aggressively hedge or switch on the down screen. The screener simply seals off the switch defender, then slides toward the basket with his hands up, keeping the defender on his back.
