Brooklyn Nets Nets Flex Continuity by Adam Spinella
Lionel Hollins took over this year as the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets, and he’s sought to combine his grind-it-out style with a playbook that maximizes the talents of his best players. Hollins dug into the archives and brought out the old continuity set that Deron Williams ran as a member of the Utah Jazz. Those were the best days of Williams’ career, under Jerry Sloan, where Williams could shoot coming off screens or look for quick post moves where he uses his size to his advantage.
There are good and bad factors to this offense: the good is the continuity. There is a good amount of player movement, lots of screens, and opportunities for players to read-and-react to the defense. The challenge of the offense is that it is based around the big men handling the ball often at the elbows, making passes to each other or to players coming off screens. While this is a continuity set that can be run in a high school or college program, as a coach you must trust your big men to make smart and accurate passes before you use this with your team.
