Duke Blue Devils 1-4 High Quick Hitters by Wes Kosel

This article features two 1-4 high set plays from Duke Blue Devils Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski. Coach K has his Blue Devils looking strong heading into the 2016-2017 season. Duke had its Countdown to Craziness this past weekend and revealed this season’s team to all of the Duke fans. The team then scrimmaged and showcased the returning and incoming stars of the program. This team is going to be loaded with Grayson Allen, Luke Kennard, Chase Jeter, Matt Jones, and Amile Jefferson returning for the Blue Devils. To add to their strength, Duke added freshmen Harry Giles (Winston-Salem, North Carolina), Jayson Tatum (St. Louis, Missouri), Frank Jackson (Alpine, Utah), and Marques Bolden (Desoto, Texas). Giles didn’t play in the team scrimmage, but Tatum, Jackson, and Bolden showed some flashes. Tatum, a 6’8″ wing, is extremely versatile and can take a bigger man off the dribble from the perimeter and also has a nice post game with an impossible to block turnaround jump shot. The video below was from the Countdown to Craziness night and shows the team reveal.

Duke Blue Devils 1-4 High Offense

1-4 Celtic

Both of these plays start with a “Celtic” action which is a pass to the wing, UCLA screen for the point guard, and a ball screen on the wing. In this first option, the point guard cuts all the way through clearing the right side for 4 to roll.

1-4 Celtic Circle

In the second option, 1 stops at the block making a circle cut under the rim. If x1 helps on the roll or drive 2 looks to pass to 1 for the dump down. The action can be tweaked even further by adding backside action with 3 and 5.
