Mike White Florida Gators Offense

BLOB to PNR

The Gators throw the ball in on this play looking to score off of the pick-the-picker action. If it isn’t there, 1 cuts up the middle of the floor and looks to catch and then use a ball screen from 5 at the top of the key. 4 moves out to the corner to clear space for 5 to roll.
