Mike DAntoni LA Lakers Wall Offense by Wes Kosel
Here are 4 options out of the wall offense from Coach D’Antoni. In addition, a sideline out-of-bounds play is included to show how to get into the wall formation after passing the ball in.
Mike DAntoni LA Lakers Wall Offense – Option 1
In option 1, 1 dribbles toward 2 on the wing and gives the ball to 2 on a dribble hand-off. 2 first looks to attack off of the hand-off, but if a drive isn’t open he has passing options. His first option is 1 popping to the corner. 2’s second passing option is to pass to 3 cutting off of a double screen from 4 and 5.

In option 2, 2 makes a zipper cut up the floor and receives a pass from 1. 4 then steps out and receives a pass from 2. 1, 5, and 3 move towards the same spot on the opposite wing to set up in the 3-man wall. Once all three players are set, they cut at the same time. 1 cuts to the low post, 5 screens for 3, and 3 steps in behind the screen for a shot. If neither option is there, 2 comes back from the corner and loops around 4 for a dribble hand-off. 5 and 3 set a staggered screen for 1 for a shot.
Mike DAntoni LA Lakers Wall Offense – Option 3
In option 3, 2 sets a ball-screen for 4 instead of cutting to the corner. 4 drives to the basket looking for 1 cutting to the basket or to 2 on the pick-and-pop.

1 starts at the low post and cuts up the floor to receive the pass from 2. Once the ball is inbounds, 5, 4, and 2 step together to form the 3-man wall. 1 dribbles across and passes to 3 at the high post. From here, any of the 4 options above can be used.
