NBA Post Up Plays

Breakdown on how NBA teams get the ball into the post.

After covering how NBA teams create shots for shooters (see below) we will now look at how they get the ball to the post. While posting up is not the threat that it used to be, it definitely still has a place in today’s NBA.

The NBA post ups breakdown will be split into 3 breakdowns with the next two breakdowns focusing on actions out of the post and then how NBA players score out of the post.

Some of the plays will be from post-ups, SOB/BOB, and special situations to help us better understand how NBA playbooks are designed, as well as lead into the X’s & O’s previews before next season starts.
