Here are 6 2-1-2 offense set plays. The 2-1-2 spaces the floor and clears the lane for cuts or drives to the basket. The positions are easily interchangeable and if your 4 and 5 man can shoot from outside it can really stretch the defense. The 2-1-2 also allows you to easily transition into a different formation if you cannot get a shot.

In this flex action play, 1 passes to 3 on the wing then cuts through to the corner. 3 then dribbles off of a ball-screen from 4 as 5 sets a flex screen for 1. 3 looks to pass to 1 for a lay-up. If 1 isn’t open, 4 has three options to play off of. In option 1, 4 screens down for 5. In option 2, 4 rolls to the basket and 5 replaces 4.
